Xi called on the United States to respect China's rights to develop according to the path chosen by itself and respect China's legitimate rights and interests, meet each other halfway and jointly safeguard the healthy and stable development of bilateral ties.

Kissinger said he is pleased to meet Xi in China again at a critical moment when Sino-U.S. relations have entered a new stage. He recalled that he had visited China many times over the past decades and witnessed China's development.

Cooperation between the United States and China is essential for peace and prosperity in the world, Kissinger stressed, praising China's efforts to this end.

He noted that developing U.S.-China relations demands strategic thinking and foresight, adding the two countries need to deepen their mutual understanding, strengthen their strategic communication, constantly expand their common interests, and properly handle their differences, to show the world their common interests are much bigger than their differences.

Kissinger said he hopes Trump and Xi's upcoming G20 meeting will be a success.

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi also met with Kissinger on Thursday.
