Highlighting the stature of both nations and their people, Han remarked that China and the U.S. are striving toward their respective development goals. By upholding principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, both sides can support each other’s progress, bring mutual benefits, and contribute to global peace and development.
Han underscored the significance of economic and trade ties, noting that while China and the U.S. have differences and frictions, they share substantial common interests and opportunities for collaboration. He emphasized the importance of enhancing dialogue and consultation in these areas.
