The United States and China should hold regular high-level meetings and deepen cooperation on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, as greater transparency is essential to avoid a downturn in relations, a veteran US diplomat has said.
Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, said meetings between senior officials from Washington and Beijing should become routine, rather than being treated as “news”.
“This is a relationship that needs to be institutionalised and regularised in its diplomatic interactions,” Haass told the annual Caixin Summit in Hong Kong via video call on Friday.
