US climate-change talks with China resume at Cop27, Kerry says – The National

The US and China are “fully engaged” in talks at the UN climate summit in Egypt, US climate envoy John Kerry said on Wednesday, raising hopes that a positive outcome could emerge from the talks.

Mr Kerry met China's top climate official Xie Zhenhua on Tuesday, signalling a return to communication between the two after Beijing put such talks on hold three months ago in retaliation for US house speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan.

Asked about the outcome of the meeting, Kerry would only say: “We'll have to see, it’s a late start.”
