China and the United States are expected to boost dialog to tap the full potential of bilateral cooperation despite their competition in the technological front, according to the president of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Monday.

The WEF Annual Meeting 2025 opened in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday with China-U.S. relations becoming one of the key topics of discussion.

On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn into office.

According to reports, Trump stated that he hopes to visit China within his first 100 days in office and China has expressed its willingness to work with the new U.S. administration to push for greater progress in China-U.S. relations from a new starting point.

In an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) on the sidelines of the WEF Annual Meeting, WEF President and CEO Borge Brende highlighted that the recent phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump sent a positive signal.

He said both sides recognize the broad common interests between the two countries and share a desire for global peace and economic development.

"There was a phone call between President elect Trump and President Xi Jinping of China on Saturday. I think that was a good start. I think it was important that the two leaders already started a dialog on peace and development or peace and stability, as Mr. Trump put it. And I also have seen that according to the American media, that Trump has said that he wants to visit China. So maybe there will be more dialog than competition," he said.

"There are areas where countries will compete fiercely. I think on the new technologies you will see strong competition between China and the U.S. as the two leading powers on the technology side, on artificial intelligence, on the Internet of Things, also when it comes to digital trade. Even in such a situation, I think what we saw with the call between President Trump and President Xi Jinping is that they realize both that there are common interests," said Brende.
