New York, United States — The top US and Chinese diplomats held their latest talks Friday in New York as once-soaring tensions ease between the powers despite a raft of disagreements.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly at China’s mission, a US official said, with the two making no public remarks.
Since the two last met in July at a regional conference in Laos, China has pleased the United States by releasing an American pastor imprisoned for years, although other Americans are detained.
China during a summit in November 2023 with President Joe Biden agreed to key US demands of restoring military communication and taking action against producers of ingredients in fentanyl, the painkiller behind an overdose epidemic in the United States.
