WASHINGTON/BEIJING: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed on Wednesday on the importance of leader-level talks to advance peace and denuclearization, including in any trilateral summit with Russia, the US State Department said.
Rubio spoke in a call with Wang Yi to discuss US President Donald Trump's travel to the APEC summit in China next week and Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Florida to attend next month's G20 summit, the State Department said in a post on X.
It said the two recalled the leaders' "commitment to a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity."
The leaders "agreed on the importance of meaningful leader-level conversations to advance goals such as peace and denuclearization, including at any potential trilateral leaders meeting with Russia," it added.
