Lima: Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US President Joe Biden during the ongoing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Annual Summit in Peru on Saturday. Meanwhile, he said “he is ready to work with the new administration of America, namely Trump.” “China-US relations are not only important for both countries, but also important for humanity and the future,” Xi Jinping said. “Choose wisely,” he said. Find the right way to build better relations between the two major countries.
Xi expressed concern over US President-elect Trump’s statement on imports during the election campaign without naming him, saying it could affect relations between the two countries. The Chinese president said, “China is ready to enhance cooperation and resolve differences with the new US administration, so that the people of both countries can benefit from it.” “We don’t always agree with each other, but our communication has always been open,” Biden said. “This meeting between the two of us stops all those miscalculations and makes sure it’s a close race,” Biden said. The two countries will not turn into a conflict.
The APEC conference concluded in Peru amid Trump’s growing influence
After two days of meetings in Lima, the meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum concluded in a cordial atmosphere on Saturday. Many now fear that the annual summit may not be seen again for another four years. The conference did little more than discuss the strategies of the region’s major economies. Twenty-one leaders of economies bordering the Pacific, including US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, visited Peru this week as President-elect Donald Trump vowed to remove the US from the global free trade agenda.
