ZURICH/WASHINGTON—The United States and China have agreed in principle for their leaders to hold a virtual meeting before the end of the year, a senior U.S. administration official said on Oct. 6, after high-level talks aimed at improving communication between the two countries.
The closed-door meeting at an airport hotel in the Swiss city of Zurich between U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi was their first face-to-face encounter since an unusually public and acrid airing of grievances in Alaska in March.
