Foley said the consultations will be on "strategic and bilateral issues."

Prior to his visit to China, Pickering will travel to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, from October 26 to October 27. He will meet with President Bagabandi, Prime Minster Amarjargal and Foreign Minister Tuya to "reaffirm the U.S. commitment to this emerging democracy."
