WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Thursday that President Barack Obama's top economic adviser will visit China from Saturday for three days of meetings.

The White House said in a statement that National Economic Council Director Larry Summers and Deputy National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon would travel to Beijing on September 4.

The two will meet with Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo and "will discuss a wide range of issues touching on bilateral and international issues," the White House said. It provided no further details on what topics would be raised during the visit.

Obama has urged China to allow the foreign exchange value of its yuan currency be set by market forces. He also said it could appreciate significantly, after China announced in June that it would allow more yuan flexibility.

Many U.S. lawmakers say China holds the yuan at unfairly low levels against the dollar, costing American jobs by making Chinese exports to the United States cheaper and U.S. sales to China more expensive.
