The Chinese and US Presidents met at the White House on September 24 local time and exchanged views on the future of bilateral relations. The meeting drew global attention, with international figures weighing in on its significance.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia welcomed dialogue between China and the US, noting that they are the world's two largest economies. He said the manner of the two countries' interaction and the agreements they reach would affect both the global economy and Russia's economy. Russia therefore welcomes any agreements between China and the US that have a positive impact, he said.

The visit was crucial to improving people's well-being in both countries and maintaining global political and economic stability, said former Slovenian President Danilo Türk. He said China had demonstrated itself to be a responsible major country, expressing the hope that China's proposals would make international cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence more concrete and effective.

The world was closely watching the meeting, and greater mutual understanding and respect between China and the US, along with consensus built around shared interests, would give the world greater confidence in the future, said Brazilian Minister of Agriculture and Livestock André de Paula.

The meeting was a historic moment, and China and the US should be partners rather than rivals and learn to coexist in a turbulent world, said Sourabh Gupta, a senior Asia-Pacific international relations policy specialist and fellow at the Institute for China-America Studies in Washington, DC.

The two countries have clear areas of shared interest, and engagement between their leaders can help build mutual trust and pave the way for a better future, said Denis Simon, a senior research fellow in the Quincy Institute's East Asia program. He added that he could not think of any global issue where a meaningful solution could be found without close cooperation between the US and China.
