Beijing/Washington: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss the current state of China–U.S. relations and the way forward for bilateral engagement amid complex global dynamics.
During the call, Wang Yi emphasized that President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump are both influential global leaders, and that their long-standing interactions and mutual respect have become the most valuable strategic asset in the relationship between China and the United States.
He noted that mutual respect, equality, and win-win cooperation form the cornerstone of sustainable ties between the two countries. Wang Yi underscored that as long as both sides faithfully implement the important common understandings reached by the two Presidents, adhere to dialogue instead of confrontation, and avoid exerting pressure or imposing unilateral measures, the bilateral relationship can gradually stabilize and move forward in a constructive manner.
The Chinese Foreign Minister expressed hope that both Beijing and Washington would work jointly to pave the way for future high-level engagements, creating favorable conditions for deepening communication, managing differences responsibly, and expanding practical cooperation in areas of mutual interest — including global economic stability, climate action, and regional security.
Secretary Rubio, in response, reportedly affirmed the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between the world’s two largest economies and expressed readiness to continue dialogue on an equal footing to ensure that competition does not lead to conflict.
Both sides agreed that steady and constructive dialogue serves not only the interests of China and the United States but also contributes to global peace and development.
