Xi-Trump Relationship is Key Asset in China, US Ties
(MENAFN) The rapport and mutual regard between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump have emerged as the “most valuable strategic asset” in the relationship between the two nations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated on Monday.
Wang conveyed this message to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a telephone conversation, which took place ahead of an anticipated summit between Xi and Trump.
According to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang expressed optimism that China and the U.S. “will work in the same direction, make preparations for high-level interactions, and create conditions for the development of bilateral relations."
Separately, the U.S. State Department reported that the senior diplomats "discussed the importance of the U.S.-China relationship," along with the forthcoming Trump-Xi meeting.
The call occurred as Trump is scheduled to meet Xi in South Korea, the White House confirmed. Both leaders are expected to attend an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in the country.
Wang reiterated that “President Xi Jinping and President Trump are both world-class leaders, and their long-standing interactions and mutual respect have become the most valuable strategic asset in China-US relations.”
He added that a stable, healthy, and sustainable bilateral relationship "serves the long-term interests" of both nations, addressing Rubio, whom he had met earlier this year in Malaysia.
