China plans to send a high-level delegation to the inauguration ceremony of the newly elected US President Donald Trump, instead of President Xi Jinping attending in person, News.bg reports.
This was revealed by CNN, citing its sources.
Trump has extended a personal invitation to Xi through his aides, but Chinese officials have not yet confirmed whether the president will accept the invitation.
Xi Jinping congratulated Trump shortly after his victory, and the two leaders have already held talks aimed at stabilizing relations between the two countries.
