April 22nd, 2011 - 6:16 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr 22(ANI): The United States and China will hold human rights talks in Beijing next week, the State Department has said.
The discussions on Wednesday and Thursday would focus on “human rights developments, including the recent negative trend of forced disappearances, extralegal detentions, and arrests and convictions.”
Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner will head the US delegation, the Telegraph reports.
The dialogue is held intermittently, depending on the state of relations between the two countries. It took place last year, in 2008 and before that in 2002. (ANI)
