US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met China’s President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People as he wraps up a two-day visit to Beijing.
Mr. Blinken earlier spent hours in meetings with Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi and Foreign Minister Qin Gang.
President Xi said that Director Wang Yi and State Councilor Qin Gang described their talks with Secretary Blinken as candid and in-depth. The Chinese side has made its position clear, and the two sides have agreed to follow through the common understandings President Biden and I had reached in Bali. The two sides also made progress and reached agreement on some specific issues.
State-to-state interactions should always be based on mutual respect and sincerity. I hope that Secretary Blinken, through this visit, could make positive contributions to stabilizing China-U.S. relations, he has also said.
