"The two sides are discussing related arrangements," Koo said when asked whether Chang plans to hold an one-on-one meeting with Biden at APEC.
Tensions over Taiwan are likely to feature when Biden meets Chinese President Xi Jinping at the summit.
Chang briefly met with Xi at last year's APEC summit in Bangkok, and discussed semiconductors with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
