During a meeting with his American counterpart Antony Blinken in Washington on October 27, Wang Yi stated that the two countries share important common interests and challenges that they need to address together.

Acknowledging that differences between the US and China will remain, Wang Yi affirmed that Beijing will respond "calmly," based on the view that right and wrong are not determined by the stronger party.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the meeting between Blinken and Wang Yi was part of an effort to “maintain open channels of communication and responsibly manage the US-China relationship.”

However, Miller affirmed that the U.S. would continue to defend its interests and values, as well as those of its allies and partners.

Wang Yi's visit to the United States is expected to pave the way for a summit meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the APEC conference in San Francisco, USA, this coming November.
