"During the summit, Xi Jinping will hold bilateral meetings with French President Macron, US President Biden, Senegalese President [Macky] Sall and Argentine President [Alberto] Fernandez," the diplomat told a briefing.
On Thursday, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden and Xi will meet on November 14 in Bali, Indonesia ahead of the G20 summit to discuss a range of regional and global issues, including maintaining lines of communication and competition management.
Biden and Xi spoke in late July prior to heightened tensions between the two nations, stemming from a contentious trip to Taiwan by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in August and the unveiling of a new national security strategy this month that cemented China as a leading threat in the US’s view.
Indonesia, which is currently presiding over the G20, will be hosting the group's summit in Bali on November 15-16.
