US President Joe Biden's national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, will meet this week in Europe with a top Chinese official, the White House said on Tuesday.
Sullivan and Yang Jiechi will meet in Zurich to follow up on a September 9 phone call between Biden and President Xi Jinping on how "to responsibly manage the competition" between the two countries, the White House said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the White House said the meeting would take place on Wednesday.
Sullivan's trip continues an uptick in contact between Beijing and Washington.
On Monday, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said she would soon be talking to her Chinese counterpart, as a massive trade dispute rumbles on.
In his 90-minute call with President Xi last month, Biden said he wanted to avoid "unintended conflict". (AFP)
