China and US Set for Rare Nuclear Arms Control Talks

China and the United States are set to hold rare talks on nuclear arms control, marking the first such discussions since the Obama administration. The talks, scheduled for next week, will be led by senior officials from both countries and will also cover non-proliferation and maritime affairs. While the discussions are not expected to result in immediate breakthroughs, they aim to promote transparency in nuclear doctrines and establish effective crisis communication channels. The talks come amid a series of diplomatic engagements between China and the US, with a potential meeting between the presidents of both countries scheduled for November.
