In a recent press briefing at the White House, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby provided updates on the discussions held between National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and his Chinese counterpart, Director Wang Yi, in Bangkok over the weekend.
The meetings between Sullivan and Director Wang aimed to assess the progress made on key issues following the meeting between President Biden and President Xi back in November. One of the main topics discussed was the resumption of military-to-military communication, which has already taken place. Additionally, the officials addressed artificial intelligence safety and risks, and both countries expressed their commitment to advancing bilateral counter-narcotics cooperation. A working group on counter-narcotics is scheduled to be launched tomorrow in Beijing, with Deputy Homeland Security Advisor Jen Doskow leading the U.S. delegation.
