US Says China Agreed Importance of Leader-Level Talks to Advance Denuclearisation
Rubio and Wang backed leader-level talks to advance peace and nuclear disarmament, as Washington and Beijing weigh a possible trilateral summit with Russia.
- On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a "positive and constructive" call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Xinhua reported, with Beijing expressing willingness to strengthen communication and cooperation with Washington.
- Stability in China-US relations is "a rational choice made by the two major countries based on respective and shared interests," Minister Wang said. Trump-Xi summits this year helped stabilize ties despite unresolved disputes.
- Rubio said on Nov 10 that work is underway to arrange a trilateral meeting involving Donald Trump, Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting sidelines.
- On Nov 8, Trump stated he expects to discuss ending wars in Iran and denuclearization at the Shenzhen summit, while reports suggest Putin may pitch discussions on Russia's long-running war in Ukraine.
- The APEC Economic Leaders Meeting approaches as negotiators work to finalize the trilateral summit. China previously rejected trilateral nuclear disarmament talks as unrealistic, though the gathering may facilitate broader strategic dialogue.
