Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday, during which the two sides exchanged views on China-US relations and interactions between the two countries' heads of state. The call was positive and constructive.

Recalling Chinese President Xi Jinping's successful visit to the US in September, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said President Xi and US President Donald Trump agreed to enrich the connotation of the new positioning of China-US relations, providing clearer strategic guidance for exploring the right way for the two countries to get along.

The stable momentum of China-US ties did not come easily and is the two major countries' rational choice based on respective and common interests, Wang said.

He stressed that China's policy toward the US remains stable and consistent, adding that China is willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with the US, properly handle differences and sensitive issues and support each other in hosting the 2026 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and the G20 Summit.

The Chinese foreign minister also called for efforts to translate the goal of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability into concrete results.
