Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet for the first time with President Biden later this year in Southeast Asia, according to a report.
The meeting will take place at one of two planned summits of international leaders scheduled for later this year, the Wall Street Journal reported. It would mark Mr. Xi’s first international trip in three years, and it follows increasing U.S-China tensions over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan.
The meeting was initially suggested during Mr. Biden’s July 28 call with Mr. Xi, before Mrs. Pelosi’s trip.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request from The Washington Times for information about the meeting.
