On April 13, 2013, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Beijing.

Wang noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping and American President Barack Obama had agreed to continue to push forward the establishment of the Sino-U.S. cooperative partnership and to seek to build a new-type great power relationship. The tasks for us to do are to translate their important consensus into concrete policies and practical actions. The two sides should work out roadmap plans for the development of their bilateral relations in the next phase. They should continue to maintain high-level exchanges, make full preparations for this year's China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue and other high-level institutional dialogues in areas of cultural and people-to-people exchanges and enhance their mutual trust and cooperation. The coordinating role of macroeconomic policies should be strengthened and cooperation in areas like clean energy, environmental protection, urbanization and infrastructure construction should be expanded, thus ushering in a new pattern of economic cooperation between the two countries. The two countries also need to strengthen their communication and coordination in regional and international issues so that they can interact with each other positively in the Asia Pacific region in their common efforts to fight against climate change and defend network security and other global issues. The two should properly settle their differences and sensitive issues, turn challenges into opportunities, turn frictions into cooperation and ultimately gear the bilateral ties toward the right path of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win results.

Kerry said the United Stated is willing to work with China to set their eyes on their overall and long-term development as was agreed upon by the two presidents. The U.S. would work together with China to work out the development roadmap for the bilateral relations, upgrade their dialogue and cooperation and jointly tackle various challenges so that a cooperative partnership between the two countries can be forged ahead.

Kerry invited Wang Yi to have a visit to the United States as early as possible. Wang appreciated that and gladly accepted the invitation.

The two agreed to set up a network taskforce under the framework of China - U.S. Strategic Security Dialogue.

The two also exchanged views on other issues including the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the Iran nuclear issue.
