The two presidents had “in-depth exchange of views” on major issues concerning China-US relations and world peace and development, according to the statement. China said it was ready to work with the US to implement the understandings reached by the two leaders and promote the “steady, sound and sustainable development” of bilateral ties. Xi said the two countries should turn their shared vision of a constructive relationship of strategic stability into action, with cooperation as the mainstay, competition kept within proper limits and differences managed, according to China’s foreign ministry. The White House said the two countries agreed to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability based on respect, fairness and reciprocity. It also said the US and China established a new dialogue on “super intelligence” and agreed to create a bilateral communication channel for related incidents.
