According to a US spokesman, the two generals discussed during the video call “the importance of working together to manage the competition among themselves responsibly, to prevent misperceptions and to maintain open and direct lines of communication”.
China suspended high-level military talks with the United States in the fall of 2022 in protest at the then-leader of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, visiting Taiwan.
When US President Joe Biden met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in California in November, the two leaders agreed that the countries’ defense leaders should resume dialogue.
During the conversation, the two generals also discussed “a number of global and regional security issues”, according to the White House.
