'Positive results' reached in climate talks with US: China

BEIJING, Nov 10 (AFP): China said Thursday that climate talks with the United States in California had yielded "positive results" after the world's two largest greenhouse gas emitters met ahead of the COP28 summit in Dubai.

The negotiations between US climate envoy John Kerry and his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua "ended successfully" on Wednesday, Beijing's Ministry of Ecology and Environment said.

The two sides "engaged in a comprehensive, in-depth exchange of views and achieved positive results on developing bilateral climate change cooperation and action", it added.

Beijing and Washington agreed to "jointly push for the success of the COP28 conference", the ministry said.

Countries will gather in the United Arab Emirates at the end of the month for the COP28 summit, which is aimed at building consensus for limiting global warming.
