On October 27, 2023 local time, U.S. President Joe Biden met with visiting Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in the White House.
Wang Yi first conveyed President Xi Jinping’s greetings to President Biden, saying that the purpose of this visit is to communicate with the U.S. side to earnestly implement the important common understandings between the two heads of state. Noting the Bali meeting and the upcoming meeting in San Francisco, Wang Yi said the two sides should work to stabilize the China-U.S. relationship from further deterioration, and bring it back to the track of sound and stable development at an early date.
Wang Yi said that the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, the most important political foundation of the bilateral relationship, must be earnestly maintained with efforts to steer clear of disruptions. China attaches importance to the U.S. side’s desire to stabilize and improve its relations with China. Wang Yi stressed the need to take on the responsibilities to the world, history and people to truly stabilize and improve China-U.S. relations in line with the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping. This not only serves the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples, but also meets the common expectations of the international community.
Biden asked Wang Yi to extend his greetings to President Xi Jinping and expounded on the position that the U.S. values its relations with China. He said that the U.S. is ready to maintain communication with China and jointly address global challenges.
During his visit, Wang Yi also held two rounds of talks with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and conducted strategic communication with Assistant to the U.S. President for National Security Affairs Jake Sullivan.
