China and the United States should work together to find the right way to get along with each other in the new era, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Friday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, expressed his hope that the U.S. side would view China with an objective, rational and pragmatic attitude.
Wang made the remarks during a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Malaysian capital on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting and related meetings.
Wang comprehensively expounded China's principled positions on developing China-U.S. relations, emphasizing that both sides should translate the important consensus reached by the two heads of state into specific policies and actions.
Noting that the U.S. policy towards China should be based on the goal of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, Wang said the United States should treat China in an equal, respectful and mutually beneficial manner.
During the meeting, both sides exchanged views on China-U.S. relations and issues of common concern.
Calling the meeting "positive, pragmatical and constructive," both sides agreed to strengthen communication and dialogue through diplomatic channels and at various spheres and levels so as to give full play to the role of the diplomatic departments in promoting bilateral relations, and explore ways to expand areas of cooperation while managing differences.
