TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - United States President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping reached several agreements during their meeting in South Korea last week. They met in Busan, South Korea, on Thursday,

Xi handed over two Xiaomi smartphones fitted with Korean-made displays as gifts. Lee then smiled and asked, “Is the communication line secure?”

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi discussed the importance of 'high-level exchanges' with Japan's Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, suggesting a possible meeting between China's President Xi Jinping and Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the upcoming APEC summit.

In his keynote address, Xi said that Asia must remain united through cooperation rather than division. Taking a subtle swipe at the Western strategy of moving factories out of China.

Meeting between Xi Jinping and Lee Jae-myung on Apec sidelines is the first between the two leaders since the latter assumed office in June.

The face-to-face talks, their first since Trump’s return to office, come on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
