Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged the US side to handle Taiwan-related issues with extra prudence during a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Recalling that the two presidents reached a series of important consensuses in Beijing this May, including a new vision of building a constructive bilateral relationship of strategic stability, Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said it has provided strategic guidance and charted the course for the development of China-US relations over the next three years and beyond.
He called on China and the US to remove disruptions, overcome obstacles, and stay firmly on the right course toward building a constructive bilateral relationship of strategic stability.
Building a constructive bilateral relationship of strategic stability reflects the aspirations of the two peoples, meets the expectations of the international community, and serves the fundamental interests of both countries, Wang said.
Wang said that both sides should always uphold the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, and translate the important consensus reached by the two heads of state into specific policies and practical measures.
Building a constructive bilateral relationship of strategic stability is not just a slogan, and it requires action, Wang said, calling for both sides to move in the same direction and make persistent efforts.
To this end, Wang said, both sides should extend the cooperation list, create more positive agendas, and at the same time narrow the list of problems and manage various risks and hidden dangers.
Both sides agreed that the phone conversation between the two foreign ministers was positive and constructive, and agreed to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and continue to maintain communication in a flexible manner.
