On the 27th local time, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held a discussion with representatives from the US strategic and business sectors during a high-level meeting of the United Nations Security Council in New York.
Wang Yi stated that, during this high-level meeting of the Security Council held in New York, all participants agreed on the need to restore the original purpose of the Charter, revitalize the authority of the United Nations, and practice multilateralism. Revitalizing the United Nations begins with reviving the Security Council. The key lies in the ability of permanent members to coordinate and cooperate with each other. The direction of Sino-US relations is particularly crucial. Facts have proven that Sino-US relations transcend bilateral boundaries; they influence world peace and are related to the fate of humanity. Achieving healthy, stable, and sustainable development in Sino-US relations is not only the common expectation of the international community but also a mission that both China and the United States must undertake.
Wang Yi stated that the Chinese and American leaders held a historic meeting in Beijing, engaging in candid, thorough, constructive, and strategic discussions on issues related to Sino-US relations and world peace and development. A series of important agreements were reached. Both sides agreed to establish constructive strategic stability relations between China and the United States as a new orientation for their bilateral relations. They hope to work towards a direction where cooperation is prioritized, competition is managed appropriately, differences can be controlled, and peace is achievable. Together, they will explore the correct way for major powers to coexist in the new era. President Xi Jinping pointed out that achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making the United States once again great can go hand in hand, achieve mutual benefits, and benefit the world. Both sides also reached agreements regarding balanced and positive economic and trade outcomes. They will support each other in hosting the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting and the G20 Summit. To improve Sino-US relations, both sides need to take steps towards each other, effectively manage differences, expand the list of cooperation projects, and reduce the number of issues that need to be addressed. Wang Yi emphasized that Taiwan independence is incompatible with peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Only by adhering to the principle of one China and the spirit of the three joint communiques between China and the United States can we ensure peace in the Taiwan Strait and avoid conflicts and confrontation.
Wang Yi stated that China is willing to work together with the United States to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state. Specific actions will be taken to ensure that constructive strategic stability relations can be established as soon as possible. It is hoped that everyone present will make active efforts in this regard and contribute to the formation of a broader social consensus.
The American representatives present at the meeting stated that US-China relations are among the most important bilateral relationships in the world today. The successful meeting between the heads of state of the two countries not only contributes to the development of both nations, but also brings stability to a turbulent world, sending positive signals to global markets. Chinas economy demonstrates strong resilience and vitality, and American companies are optimistic about the Chinese market, looking forward to increasing investment and cooperation with China. The US and China are major global powers, and they should strengthen coordination and cooperation in various fields, jointly providing international public goods and working together to address global challenges.
Wang Yi also answered questions related to the Chinese economy, artificial intelligence, and the situation in Iran.
