The Chinese government has asked Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to pay a visit to Beijing before year’s end.

The Chinese government has asked Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to pay a visit to Beijing before year’s end. 

According to Bloomberg, “Details of the possible trip by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, both of whom have official jobs in the White House, were still under discussion, according to a U.S. official and a Chinese official who asked not to be identified. The visit may also help prepare for a trip by the president himself, said the Chinese official, who asked not be identified disclosing plans that haven’t been announced.” 
While neither the president’s daughter nor his son-in-law have significant experience in foreign relations, both have been tasked with matters involving other nations. 
Ivanka recently spoke at an economic forum held in Germany and has sat in on numerous meetings with foreign leaders, reports the Washington Post. 
Kushner, who reportedly arranged the meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, will soon visit the Middle East to help in peace efforts between Israel and Palestine. 
Meanwhile, the Post notes that "Trump has not visited China as president, though presumably a visit there by his daughter and son-in-law could help lay the groundwork for an eventual presidential trip."
