On the morning of September 25 local time, President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan held a tea party with U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife Melania at the White House. The two heads of state agreed to further enrich the content of Sino-U.S. relations and jointly build "constructive strategic stability relations based on respect, fairness, and equality."
Xi Jinping pointed out that this is his first visit to Washington in 11 years, and it is a state visit to the United States. This visit has further enriched the connotations of China-US relations, leading to an agreement to build "constructive strategic stability relations based on respect, fairness, and equality." There have also been mutually beneficial achievements in the economic and trade fields, which will be welcomed by the people of both countries and the international community.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the future of Sino-US relations is bright, and this is the trend of history. At the same time, the path to light is often tortuous, and there will always be various difficulties and challenges, which also conforms to the laws of development. I wish to join with President Trump to write a significant chapter in the history of Sino-US relations with courage and responsibility, committed to being responsible for history.
Trump said that President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States was a constructive and very successful event. Both sides had in-depth discussions on US-China relations and major international and regional issues, achieving many positive results that benefit both countries. He expressed hope to continue maintaining close communication with President Xi Jinping and work together to lead the development of US-China relations.
After the tea chat, Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan went to the United States National Archives accompanied by Trump and Melania. The heads of state entered the central hall of the archives together, where they were given a tour of the archives and their main exhibits.
Xi Jinping said that archives carry the wisdom of our ancestors and contain insights for the future. Over the past 250 years, the American people have pursued the American Dream and built a prosperous nation and a beautiful homeland on the North American continent. The Chinese people have inherited the five-thousand-year cultural tradition of the Chinese nation and continue to achieve new successes on the new journey of realizing the great Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. China and the United States are two countries with distinct characteristics. Although their histories, cultures, social systems, and development paths differ, the aspirations of the people of both countries for a better life are similar. By acknowledging and respecting each other's differences, understanding and learning from each other, finding common ground, expanding the list of cooperation areas, and properly managing differences, the relations between the two countries can be stable and sustainable.
