WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Thursday that it welcomes the initial positive dialogue between in U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, adding that reducing tension and uncertainty between the world's two largest economies was good for the world.

"It's very important, of course, that the world's two largest economies are engaging at the highest level," IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack told a news briefing when asked about the Trump-Xi summit's initial outcomes in Beijing.

"We certainly welcome the fact that there's a constructive dialog between the two countries. Anything that is going to help reduce trade tensions and reduce uncertainty is good for both of those large economies, and, of course, good for the global economy as well," Kozack added.
