Chinese President Xi Jinping has described the relationship between China and the United States as the world's most important bilateral partnership during a state banquet held in honour of US President Donald Trump in Beijing.
Speaking at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday, Xi said both nations should see each other as partners rather than rivals, stressing the importance of cooperation between the two global powers.
“We have always found that this is the most important bilateral relationship in the world,” Xi said while toasting Trump at the event.
The Chinese leader emphasized the need for stronger understanding and collaboration between both countries despite ongoing global political and economic tensions.
In his remarks, Trump said the people of China and the United States share many common values, including hard work, courage, love for family, and patriotism.
“We value hard work. We value courage and achievement. We love our families, and we love our countries together,” Trump stated.
The US president also expressed optimism about future cooperation between the two nations, saying there is an opportunity to build greater prosperity, peace, and happiness for future generations.
The state banquet marked the end of Trump’s first day in Beijing as part of his official visit to China.
Both leaders are expected to continue high-level discussions before Trump departs the country.
