International affairs are expected to dominate talks at Chequers, including China's response to the rise of Islamist extremism.

Mr Xi and wife Peng Liyuan will bid a formal farewell to the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace, where they have been staying since arriving on Monday evening, before the president joins the Duke of York for a series of visits.

The couple will then head to Chequers where they will dine with Mr Cameron and wife Samantha.
