BANGKOK - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and China’s top diplomat Wang Yi met face-to-face for the first time this year on Thursday and Wang said they discussed ways to promote China-U.S. ties despite “recent disturbances”.

“There may be at various times issues and problems between China and the United States, but no matter how many problems it is important for both sides to sit down and have face-to-face discussions,” Wang said after the meeting of roughly 30 minutes. Neither mentioned the South China Sea, where the United States has increasingly pressured China over its sweeping maritime claims and where recent Chinese confrontations with Southeast Asian nations such as Vietnam have increased tension.
