US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have agreed that a “nuclear war should never be fought” as they met ahead of the G20 summit in Bali.

Mr Biden, in his first face to face talks with Xi since he became president, described the conversation as open and honest, and said both leaders wanted to prevent competition from becoming anything close to conflict.
