Bilateral China-US meeting may be in the works

China and the United States are discussing a possible bilateral meeting between Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and US president Barack Obama at the sidelines of UN climate summit in Copenhagen, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said yesterday.

"Premier Wen has accepted invitation from Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen to attend the Copenhagen summit, but the detailed visiting schedule is still being planned, including a bilateral meeting with US president Barack Obama," Jiang said.

But the bilateral meeting, if it occurs, will not bring out new agreements between the two countries, said Pang Zhongying, professor on American Studies with Renmin University of China.
