CGTN: Chinese President Xi meets Biden for talks and APEC meeting in San Francisco…






BEIJING, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Chinese President Xi Jinping received a warm welcome from U.S. officials at the airport after arriving in San Francisco on Tuesday for a summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, and the 30th APEC Economic Summit.

US officials, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, were present at the airport to greet President Xi.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, many overseas Chinese were seen waving the national flags of China and the United States to greet Xi.

“We welcome you warmly. It’s really important for you to know that APEC is a good opportunity for him and Biden to further redefine and expand our relationship,” said Robert Weisenmiller, former chairman of the California Energy Commission.

The two presidents will hold in-depth discussions on issues of strategic, comprehensive and fundamental importance in shaping China-US relations and on important issues related to peace and development, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday. Monday.

The upcoming talks between Xi and Biden will be the first face-to-face meeting between the two presidents since they met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, last year. However, 2022 proved difficult for relations between the two nations, as then-US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the Chinese region of Taiwan seriously damaged relations.

Optimism only became noticeable again as the year progressed. Beijing and Washington have resumed communication and exchanged frequent exchanges in various areas in recent months, creating new conditions for upcoming talks between the two leaders.

The world is watching to see if the two leaders can improve the results in Bali and introduce new developments in bilateral relations in San Francisco.

“I was thrilled to see the leaders of China and the United States put aside all differences over the geopolitical challenges their teams regularly discuss to come together at APEC. Because they recognize the importance of this type of engagement,” said Ertharin Cousin, former director of the UN World Food Programme.

During his stay, Chinese President Xi Jinping will also participate in a series of events aimed at finding common ground with the leaders of Asia-Pacific economic entities. San Francisco is the host city of APEC Leaders Week 2023, from November 11 to 17, under the theme “Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All”.
