Vor Treffen: Chinas Außenminister sieht Risiken im Verhältnis zu USA
Das Verhältnis zwischen den USA und China bleibt angespannt. Erst kürzlich drohte Washington mit Wirtschaftssanktionen. Nun trifft Chinas Chefdiplomat einen wichtigen US-Vertreter in China.
Beijing - In a meeting with the US ambassador appointed by President Donald Trump, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi highlighted risks in relations with the United States, Wang stated on Wednesday in Beijing. While improving the relationship between the two countries has served the interests of their peoples, he also sees risks and challenges, he said in a statement published on Thursday.
Wang called for implementing the agreements between the two state leaders, adequately addressing disagreements, and eliminating disruptions in high-level exchanges, it was reported. The meeting took place just days after Washington threatened sanctions against Iran's trading partners, China being the main buyer of Iranian crude oil.
The Chinese chief diplomat also met with Perdue a few weeks before a planned US trip by Chinese State and Party Chief Xi Jinping in September. Trump had invited Xi during his visit to Beijing in May. Both sides are still at odds over a customs dispute that has been paused until November and will likely be a major issue during Xi's US visit.
