Biden and Xi to Meet at G-20 Summit in Indonesia, White House Says

What’s new: U.S. President Joe Biden will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping Monday at the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, the White House confirmed Thursday. It will be the leaders’ first in-person meeting since Biden took office in 2021.

“The leaders will discuss efforts to maintain and deepen lines of communication” as well as how to “responsibly manage competition and work together where our interests align, especially on transnational challenges that affect the international community,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. “The two leaders will also discuss a range of regional and global issues.”
