United States Climate Envoy John Kerry will visit China from Tuesday to Friday to meet his Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua in the lead-up to this year's United Nations climate change conference.

The duo will exchange views in Tianjin over Sino-US climate cooperation and the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, which will be held in Glasgow in the United Kingdom from Oct 31 to Nov 12, according to a media release from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on Tuesday.

It's Kerry's second trip to China this year as US climate envoy. In a visit in April, he and Xie, a veteran of climate diplomacy, discussed the issues.

The two countries issued a joint statement on climate cooperation after the April meeting, vowing to join hands to find solutions to the urgent global crisis.
