Wang Yi discusses US-China relations ahead of expected Xi-Trump meeting

In a social media post, Perdue later described the talks as part of “preparations for President Xi’s reciprocal visit to Washington”.

Wang’s message comes ahead of an expected September 24 meeting between Xi and US President Donald Trump at the White House.

Citing “various risks and challenges” in the relationship, Wang said that “under the guidance of the two heads of state, both sides are working to build a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability”.

“Facts have proven that improving and developing China-US relations, peaceful coexistence on the basis of mutual respect, and then win-win cooperation serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meet the common expectations of the international community,” he said.
