MUNICH, Feb 14 — China and the United States (US) agreed to strengthen dialogue and cooperation across various fields and promote the stable development of their relations, after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
Xinhua reported that Wang said President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump have provided strategic guidance for the development of China-US relations.
Both sides should jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and make 2026 a year in which China and the US move toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.
In his view, dialogue is better than confrontation, cooperation is better than conflict, and win-win outcomes are better than zero-sum games.
As long as both sides uphold the principles of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, they can find ways to address each other's concerns and manage differences effectively.
Wang urged both sides to make joint efforts to continuously expand the list of cooperation and reduce the list of problems, so as to steer China-US relations onto a track of stable, healthy, and sustainable development and send more positive signals to the world.
Both sides agreed that the meeting was positive and constructive.
They agreed to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and to fully leverage the coordinating role of political and diplomatic channels.
Washington and Beijing also pledged to support high-level interactions between their countries, strengthen dialogue and cooperation across various fields, and promote the stable development of bilateral relations.
