WASHINGTON, November 16. /TASS/. US President Joe Biden said "real progress" has been achieved during his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, held on the sidelines of the APEC summit on Wednesday in San Francisco, California.

"There are critical global challenges that demand our joint leadership. And today, we made real progress," Biden wrote on the X social network (formerly known as Twitter).

The meeting took place at Filoli Historic House, a secluded estate in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was the seventh meeting between the presidents of China and the United States since Biden took office in January 2021, and their second face-to-face talks. The two presidents met in person for the first time in November 2022, on Indonesia’s resort city of Bali.
