US expects talks with PRC in Alaska to be somewhat difficult

“We expect some of the conversation to be difficult.

There are issues on which the President (United States Joe Biden) has not refrained from voicing his concerns, be it human rights or economic or technological issues.

And we, of course, expect that many of these issues can be discussed during this meeting, ”TASS quotes the words of the press secretary of the White House Jane Psaki.

At the same time, according to Psaki, "there are also areas where there may be an opportunity for joint work, be it the climate or the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons."

Earlier it became known that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and US President's Assistant for National Security Jake Sullivan will hold talks in Alaska on March 18 with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), head of the office of the CPC Central Committee Foreign Affairs Commission Yang Jiechi.
