China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian said that US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed on establishing a more substantial dialogue between the two countries following a phone call between the two leaders, as he spoke during a Beijing press conference on Friday.
“Both presidents agreed that in-depth communication between them on China-US relations and major international issues is very important for steering the bilateral ties in the right direction,” said Zhao Lijian.
It was the second phone call between the two leaders since Biden took office.
The spokesperson also harshly criticised the US 20-year military campaign in Afghanistan.
“The US should learn some hard lessons. The end of US military intervention should mark the beginning of the US earnestly assuming its due responsibilities,” said Lijian.
Beijing confirmed its commitment to continue supporting Afghanistan, providing medical supplies, technical equipment, and other assistance to its population.

SOT Zhao Lijian, China MOFA spokesperson (Mandarin): “Both presidents agreed that in-depth communication between them on China-US relations and major international issues is very important for steering the bilateral ties in the right direction. They agreed to maintain frequent contact by multiple means and instruct officials at the working level to intensify the work, conduct extensive dialogue and create conditions for the further development of China-US relations.”

SOT Zhao Lijian, China MOFA spokesperson (Mandarin): “China and US are respectively the largest developing country and largest developed country in the world. Whether China and US can handle the bilateral relations bears on the further of the world, and it is a question that must be answered by the two countries. When China and US cooperate and the world will be benefited. If the two countries are in confrontations and the world will be suffered. Getting the relationship right is not the option but something we must do. Currently, the International community face the common difficulties. Both of sides should shoulder big responsibility, move forward, demonstrate strategic and political courage and bring China-US relations back to the right track of stable development as soon as possible. So, it can bring more benefits to the peoples of the two countries and the rest of the world.”

SOT, Zhao Lijian, China MOFA spokesperson (Mandarin): “We are ready to keep ports open for Afghanistan and committed to continue providing medical supplies as well as technical and other assistance to the people of Afghanistan’s efforts to fight COVID-19. We will continue our coordination and cooperation on drug control, immigration and other issues and continue to help Afghanistan strengthen economic and trade connectivity with the regional countries, call on the international community to help with Afghanistan’s peace and reconstruction and agree to hold more Foreign Ministers’ Meetings among Afghanistan’s neighboring countries and set up relevant mechanisms.”

SOT Zhao Lijian, China MOFA spokesperson (Mandarin): “The Afghan war waged by the US after 9/11 lasted 20 years, but it has not only failed in removing the terrorist threat, but has actually witnessed the dramatic increase of Afghanistan-based terrorist organizations and foreign terrorists. As the culprit of the Afghan issue, the US should learn some hard lessons. The end of US military intervention should mark the beginning of the US earnestly assuming its due responsibilities. The US is more obligated than any other country to provide the Afghan people with economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance, help Afghanistan realize stability and prevent chaos on the basis of respecting its sovereignty and independence, curb the threat of terrorism and achieve sound development.”
