Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday urged closer cooperation with the U.S. during talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing, saying the two countries should be partners rather than rivals, Xinhua News reported Thursday.
Xi said both nations share more common interests than differences and should help each other succeed.
He added that stable China-U.S. ties would benefit the world and expressed hope that 2026 would become a "historic, landmark year" in bilateral relations.
