BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump had a private meeting on Friday in the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in central Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting came before Trump concluded his state visit to China and a day after the two leaders held formal talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon Trump’s arrival at Zhongnanhai, Xi warmly welcomed him. The two heads of state walked and talked, occasionally stopping to admire the trees and flowers in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noting that Trump’s visit was a historic and landmark one, Xi said the two sides had set the new vision of building a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We had reached important common understandings on maintaining stable economic and trade ties, expanding practical cooperation in various fields, and properly addressing each other’s concerns,” Xi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two sides also agreed to strengthen communication and coordination on international and regional issues, according to Xi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding, deepening mutual trust and improving the well-being of the two peoples, Xi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This once again demonstrates that it is a shared aspiration of both peoples and the expectation of people across the world for China and the United States to find a right path to get along with each other and to achieve peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, Xi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While President Trump hopes to make America great again, I am dedicated to leading the Chinese people toward national rejuvenation,” Xi said, stressing that the two countries can advance their respective development and revitalization by strengthening cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and the United States should implement the important common understandings that have been reached, cherish the hard-won positive momentum, keep to the right direction, steer clear of disruptions, and promote the steady development of bilateral relations, Xi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said that he is very grateful to Xi for inviting him to visit Zhongnanhai, adding that his China visit was very successful, captured the world’s attention and was unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said that the two sides had reached a series of important common understandings, signed a number of agreements, and resolved many problems, which were very beneficial to both countries and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noting that Xi is his old friend, Trump said that he has great respect for Xi and that they have established a good relationship. The U.S.-China relationship is very important and will definitely get better, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said that he is willing to continue to maintain sincere and in-depth communication with Xi, and warmly looks forward to hosting Xi in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two sides also exchanged views on some regional hotspot issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
