"No date for that call," Kirby told the CBS News broadcaster, when asked about a potential call between the two leaders.
At the same time, he noted the importance of maintaining open lines of communication with Beijing and assured that Biden wanted to have a conversation with Xi.
Earlier in March, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that Biden could hold a telephone conversation with Xi in the near future. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, in turn, said Washington should take necessary measures to put China-US relations back on the right track.
Last week, Xi traveled to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reflecting the deepening ties between China and Russia.
