Rubio: China and the United States are two great and powerful countries!
U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said that his meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister today at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur was constructive and positive.
"We had a very constructive meeting. Of course, we are two great and powerful countries, and there will always be topics on which we disagree. But I believe there are potential areas for cooperation. I think this was a very constructive and positive meeting. We still have a lot of work to do."
Rubio said that there are still issues in the bilateral relations between the United States and China that need to be resolved, but both sides should maintain regular communication and seek ways to resolve accumulated contradictions, because anything is possible.
"I am glad this meeting has ended. There is a lot of work to be done in the future. No one says this will be easy, but we have some opportunities in certain areas. We can work hard to give new momentum to our relations."
Rubio emphasized that his meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister was not an official meeting. This was his first personal meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister, which is very important for further building and strengthening personal contacts. "It's more about building a constructive foundation from which we can dialogue on trade and other issues."
