China says FM Wang to meet US counterpart Blinken in Laos

BEIJING, July 26: China's top diplomat Wang Yi will meet with US counterpart Antony Blinken on the sidelines of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) talks in Laos, Beijing's foreign ministry said Friday. 

"Foreign Minister Wang Yi will meet with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Laos," said foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.

The two top diplomats would "exchange views on issues of common concern", Mao said.

She did not say when the meeting would take place, but said Beijing "will release information in a timely manner regarding the specific time of the meeting and the circumstances of the meeting".

"You can stay tuned," Mao added.

Wang on Thursday met with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the ASEAN talks in Laos, which kicked off with the South China Sea and the conflict in Myanmar high on the agenda.

The meeting came a day after Wang held talks in China with Ukraine's top diplomat Dmytro Kuleba.

China is a close political and economic ally of Russia, and NATO members have branded Beijing a "decisive enabler" of Moscow's war in Ukraine.

Blinken said last week he was planning to meet with Wang in Laos.

"I speak to him on a fairly regular basis, and I'll be seeing him next week, in fact, in Laos," Blinken said during a security forum in the US state of Colorado.    —AFP
