Chinese President Xi Jinping has met U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Beijing.

Xi Jinping says he is looking forward to having "candid and in-depth" talks with US President Barack Obama during his planned visit to the US in September.

Kerry was in China to advance U.S. priorities ahead of the China-US Strategic and Economic dialogue in Washington later this year and President Xi's visit to Washington.

He has also met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Premier Li Keqiang has made a brief stop-over in Ireland ahead of his four-nation tour in Latin America.

He has met with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and both leaders agreed to expand cooperation in trade, clean energy, education and many other areas.

Li Keqiang has also overseen the signing of a number of deals connected to agricultural cooperation.

The Chinese premier is scheduled to leave Ireland later on this Monday for Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Chile.
