Xi Jinping had a phone call with US President Trump.

On the evening of June 5, President Xi Jinping had a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump at the latter's request.

Xi pointed out that to correct the course of the China-US relationship, it is essential for both sides to steer the ship in the right direction, especially by removing various interferences and even sabotage. At the US side's proposal, the economic and trade teams of the two countries held talks in Geneva, taking an important step toward resolving economic and trade issues through dialogue and consultation. This has been widely welcomed by people from all sectors in both countries and the international community, and it also proves that dialogue and cooperation are the only right choice. The two sides should make good use of the established economic and trade consultation mechanisms, uphold an equal attitude, respect each other's concerns, and strive for win-win results. China is sincere in this regard and also principled.

The Chinese people always honor their commitments with real actions. Since consensus has been reached, both sides should abide by it. After the Geneva talks, China has earnestly implemented the agreement. The US side should view the progress made in an objective and fair manner and remove the negative measures imposed on China. The two sides should enhance exchanges in various fields such as diplomacy, economy and trade, military, and law enforcement, increase consensus, reduce misunderstandings, and strengthen cooperation.

Xi stressed that the US should handle the Taiwan issue prudently and avoid being dragged into a dangerous situation of conflict and confrontation by a very small number of "Taiwan independence" separatists.

Trump expressed his great respect for President Xi Jinping and emphasized the importance of US-China relations. The US side is pleased to see China's economy maintaining strong growth. US-China cooperation can achieve many good things. The US will continue to adhere to the one-China policy. The economic and trade talks in Geneva were very successful and resulted in a good agreement. The US is willing to work with China to implement the agreement. The US welcomes Chinese students to study in the country.

Xi welcomed Trump to visit China again, and Trump expressed his sincere gratitude. The two heads of state agreed that their teams should continue to implement the Geneva consensus and hold a new round of talks as soon as possible.
