Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and visiting US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met in Beijing on Tuesday for a “new” round of China-US strategic communication, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Sullivan arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for a three-day visit amid heightening diplomatic tensions between the world’s two major powers.
He was received by Yang Tao, director general of the Chinese Foreign Ministry of North American and Oceanian Affairs, and US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, at Beijing airport.
Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China’s Central Committee, said the “main task of the new round of China-US strategic communication” will be to deliver on the common understandings reached between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Joe Biden in San Francisco in November 2023.
Sullivan’s visit is the first by a US national security adviser to China in eight years, and it is viewed as laying the groundwork for another summit between Biden and Xi.
The visit is an “important move” to implement the consensus reached between the two leaders during their meeting in San Francisco in November, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
