Xi, Biden arrive for key San Francisco summit
Political
President Xi Jinping has visited the US for the first time since 2017. The leaders of the world's two largest economies will hold one-on-one talks in San Francisco on Wednesday evening.
US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have arrived in San Francisco, California, where they will hold one-on-one talks today, 15 November.
The presidents of the world's strongest economies are set to meet at an undisclosed location on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
It will be Xi Jinping's first visit to the United States since April 2017 and the first one-on-one meeting between the two leaders since last November.
The talks come amid chilly US-China relations as China moves closer to the title of the world's largest economy, putting it on a collision course with the US or its allies.
"We're not trying to decouple from China. But what we're trying to do, is change the relationship for the better," Biden said Tuesday.
Aboard Air Force One bound for San Francisco, White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters that Biden and Xi Jinping would talk about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Gaza, U.S. efforts to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, and North Korea's missile tests.
