Summit meeting between Xi, Biden sees candid talks
He said China's development, driven by its own inherent logic, will not be stopped by external forces. "It is important that the US side take China's concerns seriously and adopt tangible steps to lift its unilateral sanctions so as to provide an equal, fair and nondiscriminatory environment for Chinese businesses."
The two presidents acknowledged the efforts of their respective teams to discuss the development of principles related to China-US relations since the meeting in Bali, Indonesia last November.
They stressed the importance of the two countries treating each other with respect and finding a way to live alongside each other peacefully, and of maintaining open lines of communication, preventing conflict, upholding the United Nations Charter, cooperating on areas of shared interest and responsibly managing competitive aspects of the relationship.
The two presidents agreed to promote and strengthen dialogue and cooperation between the two countries in various areas including China-US government talks on AI and the establishment of a working group on counternarcotics cooperation.
They agreed to resume the China-US Defense Policy Coordination Talks and the China-US Military Maritime Consultative Agreement meetings, and to conduct telephone conversations between theater commanders.
The two leaders also agreed to commit to work toward a significant further increase in scheduled passenger flights early next year, and expand educational, student, youth, cultural, sports and business exchanges.
They also underscored the importance of working together to accelerate efforts to tackle the climate crisis in this critical decade, and welcomed recent positive discussions between their respective special envoys for climate.
