President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, discussed unspecified “security issues” with China’s top diplomat in a Luxembourg meeting on Monday, according to a White House statement.
The meeting between Sullivan and Yang Jiechi, which followed a May 18 phone call between the two men, “included candid, substantive, and productive discussion of a number of regional and global security issues, as well as key issues in U.S.-China relations,” according to the statement, which didn’t elaborate.
“Mr. Sullivan underscored the importance of maintaining open lines of communication to manage competition between our two countries,” the statement said.
