President Xi declared, "China and the United States must demonstrate the responsibilities of major powers, respond to the expectations of our peoples and to the demands of our era, and seek a new path for managing our relationship properly."

He continued, "Today, President Trump and I had frank and in-depth discussions and formed a number of new consensuses," adding, "This has enriched the content of a constructive and strategically stable China-U.S. relationship and provided new strategic guidance for our bilateral ties."

President Xi recalled, "Over 50 years ago, ping-pong diplomacy between China and the United States knocked on and opened the long-closed doors of exchanges."

He further noted, "More than 80 years ago, our peoples stood shoulder-to-shoulder in fighting against Japanese militarist aggressors," highlighting the history of bilateral cooperation against Japan during World War II.

He stressed, "This friendship, forged in blood and fire, will surely be passed down from generation to generation."
