Chinese State Councilor to Visit US
Beijing - ArabToday
Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi will visit the United States from Monday to Tuesday at the invitation of the US government, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang announced.
Yang will exchange views with senior US officials on bilateral ties and issues of common concern, Lu said, according to state news agency (Xinhua).
Yang is the first senior Chinese official to visit the US since US President Donald Trump took office on January 20.
Yang will have an extensive range of topics to discuss with the US officials but the foremost would be to reaffirm the tone of bilateral relations set by the two heads of state in their phone conversation, said Jia Xiudong, a research fellow with the China Institute of International Studies.
During Yang's tour, China and US will have exchanges on trade, security and international issues, on which Trump may take policies different from the Obama administration, according to Jia.
Nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, climate change, energy and Syria are also possible to be on the agenda, Jia said.
Yang's visit will coincide with the 45th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's ice-breaking visit to China in 1972, which paved the way for Beijing and Washington to officially establish diplomatic ties in 1979.
