The White House began planning a possible meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of the APEC summit in November in California.
About this informs The Washington Post with reference to high-ranking sources in the US administration.
“This is a firm decision. We are starting the planning process.” – said one of the officials of the American administration.
At the same time, another interlocutor of the newspaper said that “nothing has been confirmed yet.”
The talks between the leaders of the two countries may take place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, a forum of the 21-nation Pacific Rim economies scheduled for November 11-17 in San Francisco.
The plans are expected to be confirmed following a visit to Washington by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who is expected in Washington in the coming weeks.
The publication also said that Biden “expressed his disappointment that this meeting did not take place on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Delhi, where Xi Jinping did not go.”
Note that the last meeting between Biden and Xi took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Indonesia in November 2022. It was their first face-to-face meeting since Biden became president.
