JAKARTA - United States President Joe Biden said Chinese leaders knew Washington did not want to seek conflict with Beijing, while the White House said dialogue between the leaders of the two countries was continuing.
Meeting with his top military adviser on Wednesday, President Biden said President Xi Jinping knew the United States did not want to cause trouble with China.
"We are not seeking conflict with them," he said of China.
President Biden added that the United States will continue to highlight a number of issues, ranging from Russian aggression in Ukraine, climate change, to the Indo-Pacific region.
Earlier, a White House spokesman said President Joe Biden would resume dialogue with President Xi Jinping, including possible talks on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
Xi was confirmed on Sunday for an unprecedented third term as leader of the Chinese Communist Party.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday said the US Government would not comment on Beijing's internal politics.
"President Biden and our government are focused on managing our rivalry with China responsibly," he explained, citing NHK, adding they would continue to work together in areas such as climate change.
Jean-Pierre said it was important to keep the conversation between Biden and Xi going on. Despite several virtual and phone talks, the two leaders have not met in person since President Biden took office last year.
Attention is paid to the possibility of the first face-to-face conversation between the two leaders on the sidelines of the G20 Summit next month in Indonesia.
