CNN —China’s top diplomat Wang Yi will visit Washington, DC, later this week, senior administration officials said Monday ahead of a potential meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping in California next month.
Wang will meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security Adviser Jake Sullivan during his trip to the US capital October 26-28, the officials said.
“This visit by Wang Yi is part of ongoing efforts to maintain open channels of communication with China across the full range of issues,” the official said.
US officials are expected to discuss “the South and East China Seas, cross-Strait issues, the Middle East, Russia’s war in Ukraine, North Korea’s provocations,” among other issues with Wang.
And those aren’t yet established, but I can assure you that it’ll be on the agenda for Wang Yi’s visit.”
