Preparations for Xi Jinping’s expected visit to Washington next month were discussed during a meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue.
During Wednesday’s meeting in Beijing, Wang Yi said China and the United States should work together to overcome obstacles to high-level engagement. The Chinese foreign minister also called for important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries to be implemented in good faith and for problems disrupting high-level contacts to be addressed.
