BALI, Indonesia (AA) – The US president on Monday dismissed concerns over the possibility of a new Cold War.

There “need not be a new Cold War,” Joe Biden said after a three-hour meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of a G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.

But Biden also told reporters: "I made it clear to President Xi Jinping that I thought they had an obligation to attempt to make it clear to North Korea that they should not engage in long-range nuclear tests."

He further expressed certainty over China's ability to "control North Korea."

"I'll conclude by saying that ... in particular with Xi Jinping that I mean what I say and I say what I mean, so that there's no misunderstanding, that's the biggest concern," Biden added.
