Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan discussed setting up new talks between their presidents in meetings aimed at managing the two nations’ difficult relationship.
“The two sides discussed a new round of interaction between the two heads of state in the near future,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a readout published Wednesday evening, without saying how those communications will be conducted. A US readout that followed noted that “both sides welcomed ongoing efforts to maintain open lines of communication, including planning for a leader-level call in the coming weeks.”
