US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet with his Chinese counterpart at a summit in Malaysia on Friday, the first in-person session between the two and a possible prelude to a presidential summit.
The top American envoy is scheduled to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur at 3 p.m. local time, according to Rubio’s public schedule. Both officials are attending a gathering of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which ends Friday.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet with his Chinese counterpart at a summit in Malaysia on Friday, the first in-person session between the two and a possible prelude to a presidential summit.
The top American envoy is scheduled to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur at 3 p.m. local time, according to Rubio’s public schedule. Both officials are attending a gathering of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which ends Friday.
The meeting will be among the highest-level sitdowns between the two countries since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January. A positive conversation between the top envoys will increase the chance of a leadership summit that may further ease tensions following their trade truce, although many points of friction remain.
Rubio told reporters Thursday that he would raise Chinese support for Russia in any meeting with Wang. “The Chinese clearly have been supportive of the Russian effort, and I think that generally they’ve been willing to help them as much as they can without getting caught,” he said after a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Beijing’s economic and diplomatic backing for Moscow after it invaded Ukraine is just one of many sticking points in relations between the world’s two largest economies.
In their last phone call, in January, Rubio raised concern about China’s behavior toward Taiwan and the South China Sea, while Wang warned the US to handle Taiwan-related matters carefully. Trump has said he would like to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping this year, and a senior Chinese official last week expressed optimism over bilateral ties.
In a phone conversation in early June, Xi invited Trump to visit China. The US administration has been reaching out to business executives to weigh interest in accompanying him on a possible trip to China this year, Bloomberg News reported last week.
In February, Wang traveled to New York for a United Nations Security Council meeting, but no bilateral meeting with the Trump administration took place. In the following weeks, a series of tit-for-tat measures saw US tariffs on Chinese products jump to as high as 145% before it was suspended for 90 days after negotiations in May.
