The two leaders were discussing bilateral relations and ways to implement the agreement reached at the London summit.

Hu and Rudd last met in Washington last November when the leaders of the G20 gathered for the first time to discuss how to tackle the global financial crisis.

The London summit concluded on Thursday afternoon with consensus on how to save the world out of the financial crisis, including a pledge of US$1.1trillion to revive the world economy, a joint call to fight protectionism, and concrete actions to tighten banking regulation.
