China and the US held a meeting to discuss international norms of state behaviour in cyberspace and other security issues.

The meeting on Wednesday was the first discussion of Senior Experts Group on International Norms and Related Issues, a mechanism agreed upon during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the US last September, Xinhua news agency reported.

The two sides held "positive, in-depth and constructive" discussions on issues concerning international norms of state behaviour in cyberspace, as well as international law and confidence-building measures in the field, according to the Chinese delegation.

The two sides agreed to hold a second meeting within six months, it added.
