Sullivan meets Xi as wide-ranging China-US talks near end in Beijing

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday, wrapping up three days of wide-ranging talks aimed at easing tensions between the two world powers ahead of November's US election.

As the pair sat down in the Great Hall of the People, Xi told Sullivan Beijing was committed to a stable relationship with Washington.

"In this changing and turbulent world, countries need solidarity and coordination ... not exclusion or regress," Xi said.

Sullivan told Xi US President Joe Biden was committed to managing the relationship to avoid conflict and "looks forward to engaging with you in coming weeks."

The White House said after the meeting that the two sides were planning for a call between Xi and Biden in the weeks ahead.

This week's discussions covered a range of issues complicating ties between the countries. Sullivan's in-tray included tensions over Taiwan, the South China Sea and Russia, and US demands for more Chinese help to stem the flow of the ingredients for fentanyl, the leading cause of drug overdoses in the United States.
