Xi Jinping will forgo speaking at the United Nations General Assembly this week and is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump in Washington.

The United Nations General Assembly convenes annually in New York each September, with heads of state traditionally delivering remarks to the assembly.

The Chinese leader’s decision means he will not join other world officials in addressing the chamber. The meeting with Trump is set for the same week, though no specific agenda has been disclosed.

The implications of the encounter and Xi’s absence from the assembly will become clear following the talks.
