President Joe Biden will hold a virtual meeting with China's President Xi Jinping on Monday evening, the White House said Friday.
The meeting will mark the third time the two leaders will have spoken since Biden took office. They held a 90-minute phone call in September after first speaking in February.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that Biden was not seeking"specific deliverables or outcomes" from the meeting but that the conversation would be more"about setting the terms, in our view, of an effective competition where we're in a position to defend our values."The leaders, Psaki told reporters,"will discuss ways to responsibly manage the competition between" China and the U.S.
Despite the many points of contention and strategic competition between the two world powers, China and the United States on Wednesday announced they had agreed to increase cooperation to fight climate change.As the two largest polluters, the agreement signaled a willingness to move ahead on climate issues while putting aside, to some degree, other disputes.
China's ambassador to the United States on Tuesday read a letter from Xi during a gala dinner in Washington.
