Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized that the United States and China should maintain a friendly relationship.

On the 30th, at a summit with the United States, Xi said, "Because the situations of the two countries are different, it is natural that conflicts arise," and "I think China's development should be linked to America's vision of making the United States great," he said.

He said, "The United States and China should be partners and have a friendly relationship," and explained, "At talks held a few days ago in Kuala Lumpur, the two countries' economic and trade teams reached a basic agreement on their respective major concerns. This has created the necessary conditions for today's meeting."
