(California) – US President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping wrapped up their first US-China summit after securing new levels of understanding on North Korea, climate and cyber issues. Obama and Xi spent a total of eight hours together over two days, encompassing talks and a private dinner seeking to forge a personal connection.
US officials said the talks had allowed Xi and Obama a rare chance to swap insights about where they hoped to lead their own nations, and the world in years to come. US National Security Advisor said Obama and Xi had closely consulted on North Korea’s recent nuclear brinkmanship, and agreed that they would work together on the “denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula.
