"Next week in Washington, China and U.S. will hold arms control
and non-proliferation consultations at director-general level,"
spokesperson Wang Wenbin said when asked about a report that
China agreed to nuclear arms-control talks with the United
States.
According to plans agreed by both sides, Wang said China and the
U.S. will conduct dialogue and exchanges on a wide range of
issues such as implementation of international arms control
treaties.
The talks come days after Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with
senior U.S. officials, with both sides agreeing to hold a series
of consultations in the near future.
Wang also met with U.S. President Biden in talks that the White
House described as a "good opportunity" in terms of keeping
lines of communication open between the two geopolitical rivals
with deep policy differences.
