US presses China for debt relief in developing countries

 

“The world, I believe, expects China and the United States to play a key role in addressing global challenges, from climate change to food insecurity, and… that we can work together,” Biden said in his opening address for the meeting, which closed on the press.

“President Biden underlined that the United States and China must work together to address transnational challenges – such as climate change, global macroeconomic stability, including debt relief, health security and global food security – because that is what the international community expects,” a readout stated. 

“The two leaders agreed to allow key senior officials to maintain communication and deepen constructive efforts on these and other issues.” The U.S. and China will once again collaborate on issues including climate change, according to a White House readout of a meeting between President Biden and Xi Jinping.
