Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, with both sides agreeing to strengthen dialogue, expand cooperation, and promote stable development of China-U.S. relations.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump have provided strategic guidance for the relationship. He noted that both sides should implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and make 2026 a year of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.
“Dialogue is better than confrontation, cooperation is better than conflict, and win-win outcomes are better than zero-sum games,” Wang said.
He added that upholding equality, respect, and mutual benefit will help both sides address concerns, manage differences, and expand cooperation while reducing areas of disagreement.
The two officials described the meeting as positive and constructive. They agreed to fully implement the consensus of the heads of state, utilize political and diplomatic channels, support high-level interactions, strengthen dialogue across fields, and promote the stable development of bilateral relations.
