US-China Climate Envoys Hold Talks in US... Summit Atmosphere Intensifies

Special envoys for climate issues from the United States and China will meet in the U.S. between the 4th and 7th (local time). With a U.S.-China summit likely to be held this month, both sides are continuing high-level consultations.

The U.S. State Department announced on the 2nd that John Kerry, the U.S. President's Special Envoy for Climate, is scheduled to visit Sunnylands, California, from the 4th to the 7th, where he will meet with Xie Zhenhua, China's Special Envoy for Climate Change, to discuss the climate crisis.

This meeting is a follow-up consultation to the agreement made at the U.S.-China summit held in Bali last November, where both countries agreed to jointly respond to the climate crisis.

The U.S. and Chinese leaders are negotiating to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which will be held in San Francisco from the 11th to the 17th. In this regard, from the 26th to the 28th of last month, Wang Yi, member of the Chinese Communist Party Central Political Bureau and Foreign Minister, visited the U.S., held talks with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and paid a courtesy call on President Joe Biden.
