President Biden is slated to speak at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit Thursday afternoon, a day after he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Biden and Xi agreed Wednesday to resume military-to-military communications and cooperate on anti-drug policies, two tangible outcomes from their first face-to-face meeting in a year, as The Hill reported.
But after four hours together, including a garden walk on the outskirts of San Francisco, the leaders and their teams separately made clear that the meeting itself was the message: Two economic and military superpowers will keep talking about the issues that divide them. The two leaders also agreed to pick up the phone to confer when necessary to clarify disputes.
The event is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. EST.
