China and US agree to mutual support for hosting APEC and G20 summits, state media reports

The leaders of China and the United States have agreed to provide mutual support for each other's hosting of the APEC and G20 summits, according to Xinhua news agency, as cited by Russia's TASS.

According to the report, the two heads of state expressed their intention to participate in events organized by the other country, though the specific summits, dates and diplomatic channels involved in reaching this understanding were not detailed in the available report.

Context of great-power summit diplomacy

APEC and G20 are among the most prominent multilateral forums involving major world economies, with host countries rotating on an annual basis. Attendance by top leaders at these gatherings is often treated as a significant marker of the state of bilateral relations between major powers.

Relations between Beijing and Washington have fluctuated in recent years across trade, technology and security issues, making high-level engagements such as summit participation notable indicators of diplomatic engagement between the two governments.

Neither government's own state communications channels were directly cited alongside the Xinhua report, and the claim has not been independently corroborated through official US government statements in the available reporting.
