A United Nations Security Council meeting in two weeks could be a "very good opportunity" for Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to meet, China's U.N. envoy said on Monday, stressing the need for cooperation because "so much is at stake," while blasting Washington on tariffs.
China is president of the Security Council for February and China's U.N. Ambassador Fu Cong said Wang would chair a ministerial meeting of the 15-member body on Feb. 18 that would focus on multilateralism and improving global governance.
Rubio and Wang have spoken on phone.
"I do hope that despite all the rhetoric that we have heard from the American politicians, we can take a constructive and - I will emphasize - a professional approach in the United Nations," Fu said. "So much is at stake."
"We are firmly opposed to this unwarranted increase and we do believe that this is in violation of the WTO rules. So that's why China is filing a complaint at this WTO." Fu said.
