Beijing, November 24 (Xinhua) — China and the United States should maintain the positive momentum of bilateral relations and stay on the right course, guided by the principles of equality, respect, and mutual benefit, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday.

Xi Jinping made the statement during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump.

The Chinese President recalled that the leaders of the two countries held a successful meeting in Busan, South Korea, last month, reaching many important agreements.

As the Chinese leader noted, this meeting allowed for a course correction on the gigantic ship of Chinese-American relations and gave impetus to its confident movement forward, sending a positive signal to the entire world.

According to Xi Jinping, since the meeting in Busan, relations between China and the United States have generally remained stable and shown positive dynamics, which is widely welcomed by both countries and the international community.

Facts once again prove that the principle of "cooperation brings mutual benefit, while confrontation brings mutual harm" is a proven truth in relation to China-US relations, the Chinese President stated, adding that mutual success and common prosperity between China and the US are becoming a visible and tangible reality.

He called on the two sides to expand cooperation and narrow the list of problems, achieve greater progress, and open up new space for cooperation in China-US relations for the benefit of the peoples of the two countries and the entire world.

Xi Jinping also clarified China's principled position on Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan's return to China is an important integral part of the post-war international order.

Recalling that China and the United States once fought shoulder to shoulder against fascism and militarism, the Chinese leader pointed out that at present both countries should even more so jointly defend the results of the Victory in World War II. –0–
