Shi Jinping:

We need to strengthen communication.

China and the US differ in national conditions, but through open, in-depth and continuous dialogue, our two countries can understand each other better, seek common ground while putting aside differences, and build mutual trust.

President Trump and I have mutual respect. We built a personal rapport and stayed in touch.

We encourage our government ministries, such as those responsible for foreign affairs, economic affairs, financial cooperation, law enforcement and people-to-people exchanges, to keep up with strengthening ties, and we support our legislative bodies in increasing exchanges.
