yesterday. [newsphoto] | No official details were
available after the 75-minute discussion at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
US Assistant Secretary Christopher Hill, however, told reporters before the
talks that the meeting was aimed at helping the two sides "get acquainted" and
"compare notes."
The two sides used to use what they called the "New York channel" to contact
each other as the countries do not have formal diplomatic relations.
They had not had any substantive agreement after their face-to-face meetings
in New York in May and June.
