Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser, will travel to Beijing, China, next week to meet with the Chinese foreign minister and other high-level officials in what marks the first time in nearly a decade that someone in his position has gone to the country.

Sullivan will be in China from Aug. 27 to 29, and he will meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi for the fifth time since the administration began, according to a senior U.S. administration official.

“These meetings are consistent with efforts to maintain this strategic channel of communication to responsibly manage the relationship and are a product of the November 2023 Woodside Summit between President Biden and President Xi,” NSC spokesman Sean Savett said in a statement.

The two leaders most recently met in Bangkok in January. Prior to that, they met in Washington, D.C., in October 2023, in Malta in September 2023, and in Vienna in May 2023. Between those engagements, President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in San Francisco in November 2023.

The official said Sullivan’s trip shouldn’t be associated with the presidential election. Rather, Sullivan and Yi meet “about once a quarter, [and] the last one was in January.”
