The White House reported that US President Kamala Harris met, on Saturday, with Chinese President Xi Jinping, on the sidelines of the “Apick” summit in the Thai capital, Bangkok.
The White House said that Harris conveyed a basic message to Shi, regarding Biden’s confirmation during his meeting with the Chinese president on November 14, on the “need to keep open lines” between America and China, for “a responsible competition management between the two countries.
”
The meeting came on the sidelines of the “APEC” summit in Thailand, and less than a week after a meeting between the Chinese leader and his counterpart Joe Biden.
The Summit of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) in Bangkok began on Friday, on the impact of the war in Ukraine and the communication of the North Korean missile launch operations.
This is the first attendance meeting since 2018 for the leaders of the 21 member states whose talks are supposed to continue until Saturday.
Their program dominates the economic consequences of the conflict in Ukraine, which the South countries deny it without going to the point of condemning the Russian invasion, and regional stability issues in light of the missile launch operations by North Korea as well as repeated conflicts in the South and East China Sea.
Immediately before the start of the summit, Pyongyang launched another missile that appears to have fallen into the sea inside the pure economic zone of Japan, according to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
On Thursday, Kishida raised Chinese President Xi Jinping “his serious fears” about the situation in the eastern Sea of China, where Tokyo regularly complained of Beijing’s activity about the Senkaku Islands.
For his part, the Chinese leader stressed that the Asia Pacific region “is not a garden for anyone”, in written statements made during an economic summit on the sidelines of the APEC conference, in a hidden reference to the United States, whose influence in the region is widening.
In Bangkok, where the diplomatic marathon that started with the G20, Xi Jinping is leading the scene in the absence of his American counterpart, Joe Biden, who stayed in Washington to attend the wedding of his granddaughter and represented by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Upon the start of the dialogue, Thai Prime Minister Braiot Chan or Cha spoke about the climate, saying, “We must cooperate to reduce the effects of (climate change) and protect our world.
We cannot live as we lived in the past. “.
