During the three-day meeting, participants will discuss the global impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, energy supplies, food prices, and the relationship between the West and China.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will likely meet with Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China on the sidelines of the MSC.
If it happens, this will be the first face-to-face talks between the two diplomats since the US shot down a Chinese hot air balloon.
