President Barack Obama will visit China for the first time in November, the new U.S. ambassador said Saturday, a day after he arrived in the country. Ambassador Jon Huntsman gave no specific dates, but Obama is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Singapore on Nov. 14-15, according to a report of The Associated Press. Huntsman, a former Republican governor of Utah and ambassador to Singapore, said the visit would be part of a boost in contacts with China as the countries grow increasingly interdependent. «I am hopeful, confident, that by the end of the year the U.S.-China relationship will be better than ever before,» Huntsman told reporters at his residence.
