BEIJING, Sept 17 (Reuters) – Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a phone call that the two countries “should prepare well for the next stage of high-level interactions in the spirit of equality, respect and reciprocity,” Wang’s ministry said.
Head-of-state diplomacy serves as the anchor of China-US ties, Wang said, adding that the two sides should strengthen communication, advance cooperation, manage differences and respect each other’s core interests.
