On the afternoon of the month, local time, President Xi Jinping met with US President Joe Biden in Lima.

Xi Jinping pointed out that he was pleased to meet President Biden again. Over the past year, despite the ups and downs in Sino-US relations, under our joint leadership, we have conducted fruitful dialogues and cooperation, achieving overall stability.

The development of Sino-US relations has also validated the experiences and insights gained since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. If the two nations act as partners and friends, seeking common ground while reserving differences and mutually benefiting each other, the Sino-US relationship can achieve substantial progress. If they treat each other as rivals or enemies, engaging in vicious competition and mutual harm, the Sino-US relationship will encounter setbacks or even regress.

The world today is fraught with turbulence and frequent conflicts, with both old and new issues intertwining and resonating, presenting humanity with unprecedented challenges. Great power competition should not define the era; unity and collaboration are the keys to overcoming difficulties together. The new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial transformations is gaining momentum, and "decoupling and disconnection" are not the solutions; mutual benefit and cooperation are the paths to joint development. "Small yards and high walls" are not the actions of great powers; openness and sharing are what benefit humanity.

As two major countries in the world, China and the United States should prioritize global interests and inject certainty and positive energy into the currently turbulent world. I always believe that as the most important bilateral relationship in the world, the stable development of China-US relations concerns not only the people of both countries but also the future and destiny of humanity.

Both China and the United States should make wise choices based on the well-being of their peoples and the common interests of the international community, continuing to explore the correct way for the two major countries to coexist, and achieving long-term peaceful coexistence between China and the United States on this planet.

The United States has just held a general election. China's commitment to the goal of stable, healthy, and sustainable development of China-US relations remains unchanged. The principles of handling China-US relations based on mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation remain unchanged. The stance of firmly safeguarding China's sovereignty, security, and development interests remains unchanged. The desire to continue the traditional friendship between the peoples of China and the United States remains unchanged.

China is willing to continue dialogue, expand cooperation, and manage differences with the US government, striving to achieve a smooth transition in Sino-US relations and benefit the peoples of both countries.
