China's President Xi will attend a U.S.-led climate change summit on Thursday at the invitation of President Biden, in the first meeting between the two leaders since the start of the Biden administration.
BEIJING - China's President Xi Jinping will attend a U.S.-led climate change summit on Thursday at the invitation of President Joe Biden, in the first meeting between the two leaders since the advent of the new U.S. administration.
Xi will attend the summit via video and will deliver an"important" speech, Hua Chunying, spokeswoman at the Chinese foreign ministry, said in a statement Wednesday. In Alaska last month, U.S. and Chinese officials held the first high-level in-person talks, which bristled with rancor and yielded no diplomatic breakthroughs.
