The White House announced on the 20th (local time) that U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to hold a follow-up summit.

John Kirby, the National Security Council’s (NSC) strategic communications coordinator at the White House, said on the same day, “They agreed that they would meet again,” regarding whether Biden and Xi would meet again following the summit on the 15th. He added, “No date put on a calendar.”

Kirby also mentioned the agreement to restore military dialogue from the last summit, saying, “What’s really important now is to reopen the communication channels between military authorities at the level of theater commanders or below,” and “That’s the communication channel we’re trying to recover almost immediately.”

If Biden and Xi meet again, there is a possibility that it could be arranged for Biden to visit China, according to tradition.

The two leaders held their first summit in November last year on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. On the 15th, Xi visited the U.S. for the second face-to-face summit in San Francisco, leveraging the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

Although the U.S. and China showed differences on issues such as Taiwan and market fairness at the San Francisco summit, they have taken a conciliatory stance towards each other by agreeing to restore military-to-military dialogue and cooperation to block drug precursors.
