The US Treasury Department says that Geithner will be in Nanjing, China, next Thursday for meetings with senior Chinese officials. They'll discuss the global economic outlook and prepare for high-level China-US talks on economic and foreign policy concerns, scheduled to take place in Washington later this year.

While in Nanjing, Geithner will attend a seminar with finance officials from other countries to review the functioning of the international monetary system. The conference was the idea of finance officials from France, who are heading up the Group of 20 major industrialized countries this year.
