Sullivan’s visit is scheduled for August 27-29. He will meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will visit China next week, where he plans to meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Axios reports, citing sources.
It was noted that Sullivan’s visit, scheduled for August 27-29, could set the stage for an upcoming meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, which could take place later of this year.
The US National Security Advisor’s visit will reportedly take place against the backdrop of worsening bilateral relations between the US and China. Biden has sought to build a strong bilateral relationship with Beijing, even as competition with China has become a central aspect of his foreign policy.
The publication wrote that Sullivan’s meetings with Chinese officials have already taken place in Rome, Luxembourg, Vienna and Bangkok, where the topics of discussion were world military tension, China’s role in the Middle East and Russia’s war against Ukraine. Recently, a US economic delegation also visited Beijing to discuss issues of financial stability and global growth.
It is hoped that Sullivan’s upcoming visit to China could be an important step in establishing further dialogue between the countries.
Let’s remember that China is very confused by the report, which states that the United States has approved a new nuclear strategy, which should respond to the rapid expansion of China’s nuclear arsenal.
