U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi will meet in Washington next month to work out details for talks between the presidents of their two countries in April.

Clinton met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao Saturday in Beijing, the last stop on her tour of four Asian countries.

The meeting followed talks with Yang which focused on working more closely on climate change, security and addressing the global financial crisis.

They also laid the groundwork for a meeting between Mr. Hu and U.S. President Barack Obama during the upcoming summit of G-20 nations in London in April. It would be the first meeting between the two leaders.

After her meeting with Yang, Clinton made it clear that the Obama administration seeks to forge good relations with China.
