Meeting between senior Chinese and U.S. officials wraps up

Thefirst face-to-face meeting between senior Chinese and U.S. officials from the Biden administration has wrapped up in Alaska.

The Chinese delegation is expected to hold press conference soon.

As the U.S. delegation exited the meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken told reporters that the U.S. delegation knew there are a number of areas where China and the U.S. would be at odds, but the two parties were also able to have a very candid discussion on areas where their interests meet.

Blinken said the two worked on an expansive agenda on Iran, Afghanistan, DPRK, and climate change. "We wanted to lay out our policies, priorities, and world view and we did that," Blinken said.
