US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi have discussed US President Donald Trump’s planned visit to China, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States and the possibility of a trilateral meeting involving Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the US State Department, the discussion took place during a phone call on November 11, held at China’s request. The two officials discussed bilateral relations and upcoming high-level visits, including Trump’s planned trip to China for the 2026 APEC summit and Xi’s visit to Florida for the G20 summit.

Both sides agreed on the importance of high-level dialogue to promote peace and nuclear disarmament. The possibility of a trilateral meeting involving Russia was also raised during the discussion.

Earlier, Rubio had said efforts were underway to arrange a meeting between the three leaders on the sidelines of the APEC summit. Trump has also expressed interest in discussing an end to the Russia-Ukraine war and global nuclear disarmament with Xi and Putin. He said he would be willing to meet them even without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy if such a meeting could help bring the war to an end.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang said China seeks to maintain stable relations with the United States by increasing communication and cooperation while managing differences appropriately. He also stressed the need for both countries to support each other in ensuring the success of the 2026 APEC and G20 summits.

The latest US-China dialogue is being viewed as an effort to stabilize bilateral relations while preparing for upcoming high-level visits and international summits.
