On September 21, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiaqun presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked about the news that President Xi Jinping will make a state visit to the United States. Could the spokesman explain the main arrangements for this visit and China's expectations for the development of Sino-US relations?
Guo Jiaqun stated that at the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump, President Xi Jinping will soon make a state visit to the United States. During the visit, President Xi will have in-depth discussions with President Trump on major issues related to Sino-U.S relations and world peace and development.
Guo Jiaqun pointed out that diplomatic ties between heads of state play an irreplaceable strategic role in Sino-US relations. The fact that the two heads of state have visited each other within half a year is of historic significance. China is willing to work with the US to enrich the concept of ‘constructive strategic stability relations’ between the two countries, strengthen dialogue and cooperation, properly manage differences, continuously improve the well-being of the people of both countries, and promote world peace, stability, and prosperity.
