Secretary Antony J. Blinken and Chinese Director of the CCP Foreign Affairs Commission and Foreign Minister Wang Yi Before Their Meeting
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Good evening. I’m very pleased to welcome Foreign Minister Wang Yi to the United States. I very much look forward to constructive conversations over the next two days.

FOREIGN MINISTER WANG: So brief, huh? (Laughter.)

Therefore, China and the United States need to have dialogue. Not only should we resume dialogue, the dialogue should be in-depth and comprehensive so that with dialogue we can increase mutual understanding, reduce misunderstanding and misjudgment, constantly seek to expand common ground and pursue cooperation that will benefit both sides so that we can stabilize China-U.S. relations and return it to the track of healthy, stable, and sustainable development.

When it happens, China treats it calmly because we are of the view what is right and what is wrong is not determined by who has the stronger arm or a louder voice, but if one behaves in a way that is consistent with the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiques, consistent with international law and basic norms of international relations, and consistent with the climate of the times.

SECRETARY BLINKEN: I agree with what the foreign minister said. Welcome.
