US climate envoy John Kerry is set to travel to Beijing this weekend for climate talks with his Chinese counterparts, a Biden administration official tells CNN
The meeting comes as the US and China seek ways to work together on the climate crisis – a topic of top concern for both nations. It will mark the third visit by a US Cabinet official to the Chinese capital in a matter of weeks as Washington seeks to steer relations with Beijing back on course after months of inflamed tensions. A meeting between Kerry and his counterpart in China, Xie Zhenhua, has been months in the making, Biden’s climate czar told CNN in May.
Kerry’s planned trip comes after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrapped up meetings with China’s new economic leadership, including Premier Li Qiang and Pan Gongsheng, the newly appointed Communist Party chief of China’s central bank. Yellen in her talks with the officials urged the country to support international funds intended to help developing countries confront the climate crisis, as Beijing grappled with one of the most severe heat waves on its record.
