President Donald Trump has finally held his first conversation over the telephone with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping. The White House had confirmed that the president already agreed to honor the so-called "One China Policy".
It can be recalled that it has been a long-standing agreement which states that there is only one Chinese government for China. Recently, President Trump broke with this diplomatic norm in December by accepting a call from the president of Taiwan which was also considered a breakaway province of China.
The president also said that he saw no reasons why this agreement should continue without any key concerns from Beijing. Further, the telephone conversation that they had on Thursday night was the first between the two since Trump had taken office on January 20 even though he already had called several national leaders, BBC News reported.
Accordingly, the US president said that their conversation was very warm. He even added that they had a very good talk that night and discussed lots of subjects which made them talk long. Further, the White House also added that the wide range of issues were also discussed during the US-China call and characterized it as very pleasant. Both leaders had even invited each other for a nation visit.
Further, with a much lengthier call between these two national leaders, China's official news agency also said that Xi had vowed to work with Trump's administration in order to ensure relations could advance in a more sound and stable manner, The Guardian reported.
These two countries are apparently capable of becoming good cooperation partners, as quoted from Xi's statement to Trump. Both also had agreed to keep close contact with each other and to further strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in terms of trade and economy as well as with international affairs. Trump and Xi also had agreed to hold a meeting together at an early date.
