Bali,
US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday held their first face-to-face meeting here with both leaders agreeing on the need to manage their differences and prevent a conflict, amid Beijing’s coercive military posturing against Taiwan and in the strategic Indo-Pacific region.
The high-profile meeting between Biden and Xi that lasted nearly three hours took place on the margins of the G20 summit here in this Indonesian city. Both leaders, without their masks, shook hands and greeted each other with smiles, standing in front of a row of US and Chinese flags.
This is their first in-person meeting after Biden became president in 2021. But they have talked over phone to keep the bilateral ties from derailing.
