In statements released after the Wednesday meeting, both countries underscored that the meeting followed up on the phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and President Biden on Sept 10.

The phrase "between President Xi Jinping and President Biden" sounds a bit odd to me. Does it sound so to you? It seems to me either "between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden" or "between President Xi and President Biden" will work better because, it appears to be not polite enough to call one person in full name while another in short. I am not very sure.
