“At the invitation of President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump of the United States recently paid a state visit to China. The two heads of state engaged in candid, in-depth, constructive, and strategic discussions on major issues concerning China-US relations, as well as global peace and development,” Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Azerbaijan Lu Mei said in an interview with APA News Agency.
The ambassador noted that the two sides actively explored the proper path for coexistence between two major powers and reached a series of important agreements:
“The two leaders defined bilateral relations as ‘China-US relations of constructive strategic stability,’ a framework that will provide strategic guidance for the development of China-US relations over the next three years and beyond. This approach has received positive responses from both peoples and the wider international community. ‘Constructive strategic stability’ signifies positive stability based primarily on cooperation, where exchanges and interactions continuously strengthen the resilience of China-US relations. It also represents healthy stability characterized by competition within reasonable limits and the rejection of zero sum thinking, under which one side’s gain is viewed as the other’s loss. Furthermore, it reflects sustainable stability through the effective management of differences, whereby both sides maintain policy continuity and consistency, faithfully honor their commitments, and continue moving toward one another. It also embodies long term stability founded on peace and the rejection of conflict, confrontation, and, above all, war.”
The diplomat noted that peaceful coexistence represents the greatest common denominator in China-US relations:
“The consequences of conflict and confrontation between the two countries would be unacceptable for both sides. It is therefore essential to uphold the three China-US Joint Communiqués, respect each other’s social systems and development paths, respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, and recognize one another’s right to development. In short, ‘China-US relations of constructive strategic stability’ is not merely a slogan but a goal that both sides should firmly uphold and actively pursue through concrete actions. As President Xi Jinping has noted, China-US relations affect the well being of more than 1.7 billion people in the two countries and are closely linked to the interests of more than eight billion people around the world.”
Lu Mei added that China is ready to work together with the United States to properly implement the important understandings reached by the two heads of state, advance the development of constructive China-US relations of strategic stability, view and develop bilateral relations from a broader and longer term perspective:
“China is also ready to work with the United States to explore the correct path for interaction between major powers in the new era, deliver greater benefits to the peoples of both countries, and make an even greater contribution to global peace and development.”
