On Monday, a senior US official said President Joe Biden and his counterpart Xi Jinping are set to hold a conversation in the "next few weeks.
On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Germany, Sullivan indicated that the US president and his Chinese counterpart "will have the opportunity to engage over the course of the next few weeks", without specifying the form or date of this expected contact.
He stressed that at the level of the G20 and NATO, there has always been greater convergence on the challenges associated with Chinese ambitions, noting that competition does not mean confrontation.
A week ago, Biden said he planned on “having a conversation with President Xi.”
“We have not set a time yet,” he said, while a few days earlier he would say the call could be “soon.”
The last video conference between the two leaders was on Mach 18 when Biden warned Xi against helping Russia with its military operation in Ukraine.
