U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Saturday held what was likely their last meeting, with both emphasizing the need to maintain stable ties just over two months before Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Biden met Xi for about two hours at the hotel where the Chinese leader was staying, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima, for their first talks in seven months and third meeting as their countries’ leaders.
The talks, which focused broadly on efforts by Washington and Beijing to ease the countries’ tense relationship, also broached a range of issues — from artificial intelligence and military-to-military communications to Taiwan and North Korea.
