Biden, Xi’s final talks to include N Korea’s ties with Russia

79

LIMA: President Joe Biden is expected to use his final meeting with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, to urge him to dissuade North Korea from further deepening its support for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Saturday’s talks on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru come just over two months before Biden leaves office and makes way for Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

It will be Biden’s last check-in with Xi someone the Democrat saw as his most consequential peer on the world stage.
