"The US and China should be partners, not rivals."
This was stated by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, AFP reported.
Xi added that there are "several issues" in the relationship between the two global powers that need to be resolved.
The Chinese president said the two countries had "made some positive progress" since his meeting with US President Joe Biden last year
"There are still several issues that need to be resolved and there is room for further efforts. I have proposed three basic principles: mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation," the Chinese leader said.
"The land is big enough to accommodate the common development and prosperity of China and the United States. China would like to see a confident open, prosperous and developing United States. We hope that the United States can also positively perceive China's development. When this fundamental problem is solved, relations can really stabilize, improve and move forward," added Xi Jinping./BGNES
