Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a pivotal meeting on Friday, February 13, 2026, during the Munich Security Conference. The discussion marked their first face-to-face diplomatic engagement this year, addressing critical issues ranging from bilateral relations to global security coordination.
Observers noted the talks emphasized maintaining open communication channels despite recent geopolitical tensions. Key topics included economic cooperation frameworks, climate action partnerships, and stability measures in the Asia-Pacific region. Both sides described the dialogue as "constructive and candid," underscoring shared interests in managing strategic competition responsibly.
The meeting coincides with growing international attention on Asian security dynamics, particularly regarding cross-strait relations and DPRK nuclear negotiations. Analysts suggest such high-level exchanges could influence upcoming APEC discussions on regional trade agreements.
