The U.S. told China that tensions must be reduced in the South China Sea when the countries held the inaugural U.S.-China Asia-Pacific Consultations in Honolulu.
Talks with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai were “useful and productive,” Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt M. Campbell said when the forum ended on June 25. Cui didn’t speak to the press after the meetings. Cui last week told the U.S. not to get involved in territorial disputes over the oil-and gas-rich South China Sea.
