US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Bali this week, a senior US State Department official said.

President Joe Biden has previously said he is considering whether to remove tariffs on Chinese goods as his administration faces economic headwinds from rising inflation and other issues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The White House said there is no deadline for Biden's decision, but Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to speak in the coming weeks.

G20 foreign ministers will meet on the Indonesian island of Bali on Thursday and Friday ahead of the November G20 summit in November, also in Indonesia.

Blinken and Wang last met in October at the G20 summit in Rome. Their meeting this week will focus in part on the war in Ukraine, according to the Washington Post.
