China’s defence ministry on Monday confirmed that General Wu Yanan, who heads the PLA Southern Theatre Command, held a meeting with US Indo-Pacific commander Admiral Samuel Paparo during the Indo-Pacific Chiefs of Defence Conference in Hawaii last week.

During last week’s meeting, “both sides had a candid and in-depth exchange of views on issues of common concern, focusing on implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state”, the Chinese ministry said in a statement on Monday.

The US Indo-Pacific Command said Paparo had “underscored the importance of sustained lines of communication between the US military and the PLA to reduce the risk of misperception or miscalculation”.
