US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet in November. The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit will be held in San Francisco next month. The US President expressed hope that the meeting will be held on the sidelines.
Joe Biden said this optimism while giving face-to-face questions to reporters on Friday (October 6).
Despite the tension on various issues, the two global superpowers want to stabilize their relations. And this is why there will be a direct meeting between these two leaders. The White House said preparations for the meeting have already begun.
The last meeting between the two leaders took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Indonesia in November last year. Then the White House informed that they are working on the meeting of these two world leaders.
Sometimes there is a lot of tension between Beijing and Washington. US government cuts exports of advanced computer chips to China.
China has been on the sidelines of the Russia-Ukraine war since the beginning. However, there is a strong complaint of the US government in this regard. They say Beijing is helping Moscow with weapons.
A spokesperson of the Chinese embassy working in Washington refused to comment directly on the matter but said that the two countries are in regular communication regarding the bilateral meeting.
