China says willing to play 'constructive' role in APEC's success
(VOVWORLD) - China is willing to play a “constructive” role in the success of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco, its top diplomat said on Tuesday, after President Xi Jinping’s absence at the annual Group of 20 summit in India.

“As the world’s largest developing country and an important member of APEC, China is willing to comply with the expectations of the international community and play a constructive role in the success of APEC this year,” said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Dialogue between China and the United States has been gradually resuming despite tensions between the two superpowers.
Expectations are building that Xi would meet with Biden on the sidelines of APEC, after missing a chance for a face-to-face meeting at G20 in India.
