🌟 Head-of-state diplomacy isn't just ceremony – it's a strategic game-changer for global powerhouses. At a press briefing on Tuesday, the Chinese mainland Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized its irreplaceable role in China-U.S. relations.
Responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments about a possible visit to China this year, Guo underscored that China has always approached its relationship with the U.S. based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation – all while safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and development interests.
'We hope that the U.S. will meet China halfway, and push the stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral ties,' Guo said. He added that the leaders of both sides maintain close exchanges and communication.
In a nutshell, head-of-state diplomacy sets the tone at the top, paving the way for smoother talks and stronger collaboration between the world's two biggest economies. 🤝
