CANBERRA, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Tuesday that the Sino-U.S. relation, nearly 40 years since its establishment, has been seeing a non-stop development progress.
"The China-U.S. ties have never ceased development, overcoming various difficulties," Wang told a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart Julie Bishop following the fourth round of China-Australia diplomatic and strategic dialogue.
He disclosed that Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump had "an important conversation" after the latter won the presidential election.
Wang said the key of the conversation is positive, as President Xi said the Sino-U.S. ties would be on a better development path, which was totally agreed by Trump, saying the Sino-U.S. ties are the most important bilateral ties in the world.
Wang noticed the tough comments on China made by some from the United States, but said the two sides have been seeing "converging interests."
