At this critical juncture for bilateral relations, China is willing to engage in dialog and consultations with the United States based on equality and mutual respect to address each other's legitimate concerns, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday while meeting with Evan Greenberg, executive vice chair of the National Committee in Beijing.
China and the U.S. share extensive common interests and vast opportunities for cooperation, which can lead to mutual success and benefit the world, Wang said.
He called on both sides to follow the important consensus of the two heads of state, enhance communication, deepen understanding, avoid misjudgments, and manage differences.
Wang also acknowledged Greenberg's longstanding commitment to promoting bilateral exchanges and cooperation, and expressed hope that the committee and insightful individuals from various sectors in the U.S. will contribute to a steady, healthy, and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations.
"At this important juncture as where the China-U.S. relationship is heading, we, on China's part, very much count on the positive efforts of visionaries in the United States like Mr. Greenberg yourself. We very much hope that the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations will make new contributions to this relationship," said Wang.
Describing the U.S.-China relations as the most important bilateral relationship in the world, Greenberg said both sides should draw on their experience and wisdom to enhance mutual understanding, expand cooperation, and coexist harmoniously.
"China needs peace and prosperity. America needs peace and prosperity. We need to be able to pursue our visions of greatness, each of us in harmony with the other," he said.
In a world facing increasing risks and uncertainties, the two countries should strengthen engagement and achieve respective peace and prosperity, he said, pledging that he and the committee will continue making active efforts in this regard.
