Iran Press/ America: A senior US administration official said on Wednesday, after high-level talks aimed at improving communication between the two countries that Joe Biden and Xi Jinping will hold a virtual meeting before the end of the year.
The closed-door meeting at an airport hotel in the Swiss city of Zurich between US national security adviser Jake Sullivan and China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi was their first face-to-face encounter since an unusually public and acrid airing of grievances in Alaska in March.
US officials had suggested that the meeting was a follow-on from President Joe Biden's Sept. 9 call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, prior to which the world's top two economies appeared to have been locked in a stalemate.
Yesterday, the US president announced that he had discussed Taiwan in consultation with his Chinese counterpart and that both had agreed to abide by the Taiwan agreement.
There were reports earlier that the Chinese president opposed Biden's offer of a bilateral meeting, which Biden denied.
