Rubio meets Chinese counterpart Wang Yi at Munich conference
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi Friday on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, an AFP journalist said, at a time of heightened Washington-Beijing tensions.
The meeting came days after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would host Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House late this year, as the world's two biggest economies look to reset ties marred by a trade war.
Rubio arrived late Friday in the Germany city, and is set to deliver a speech Saturday to the annual meeting focused on international security and defense.
