On February 18, 2025 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi held discussions with people from various sectors in the United States (U.S.) while chairing the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council high-level meeting in New York.

Wang Yi introduced the outcomes of the Security Council high-level meeting and the consensus reached by all parties, saying that addressing global challenges requires concerted efforts from the international community, and that practicing multilateralism calls for greater coordination among major countries. As permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and the world's top two economies, China and the United States should follow the fundamental guidance of the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and find the right way for the two major countries to get along with each other. The two sides should explore ways to accomplish more significant, practical and beneficial outcomes for both countries and the world. Noting that China and the United States have extensive common interests and broad potential for cooperation, Wang Yi said that the two sides should earnestly respect each other's core interests, enhance communication, build mutual trust, eliminate interference, overcome obstacles, and work to improve and stabilize China-U.S. relations. China appreciates the efforts of representatives from U.S. business and strategic communities at the meeting to promote China-U.S. relations and mutual understanding, and hopes that they will play a constructive role in the sound and stable development of bilateral relations.

Wang Yi introduced the current positive trend in China's economy and the measures for further deepening all-round reform. He welcomes U.S. businesses to seize the new opportunities brought by Chinese modernization to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.

Representatives from the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the U.S.-China Business Council, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others, offered suggestions for strengthening U.S.-China cooperation to achieve early gains. The representatives said that maintaining stable U.S.-China relations benefits both countries and the world, and they will closely follow and welcome China's high-quality development, and will continue to increase investment in China.
