BEIJING: The phase-one economic and trade deal between China and the United States benefits both sides and the whole world, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Saturday (Dec 21).
In a conversation with his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, Xi noted that the two countries have reached the phase-one agreement on the basis of the principle of equality and mutual respect.
Noting that both countries' markets and the world have responded very positively to the agreement, Trump said that the US is willing to maintain close communication with China and strive for the signing and implementation of the agreement at an early date. As long as both sides keep holding the mainstream of China-US economic and trade cooperation featuring mutual benefits and win-win outcomes, and always respect each other's national dignity, sovereignty and core interests, they will overcome difficulties on the way of progress, and push forward their economic and trade relations under the new historical conditions, so as to benefit the two countries and peoples, Xi said.
China hopes that the United States will seriously implement the important consensuses reached by the two leaders over various meetings and phone conversations, pay high attention and attach great importance to China's concerns, and prevent bilateral relations and important agendas from being disturbed, Xi said.
