China and the United States have held their first diplomatic and security dialogue in Washington. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis hosted Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi and PLA General Fang Fenghui, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) for the talks at the State Department. The diplomatic and security dialogue is one of four high-level mechanisms established during the Mar-a-Lago meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida in April. The other three are discussions focused on economics, law enforcement and cybersecurity, and social, cultural and people-to-people exchanges. President Xi Jinping looks forward to meeting again with U.S. President Donald Trump during the G20 Summit in Germany in July and welcomes Trump to make a state visit to China this year, State Councilor Yang Jiechi said while meeting President Trump at the White House. Trump said the U.S. hopes to cooperate with China in projects related to the Belt and Road Initiative. Fan Jishe, Researcher of China-U.S. ties at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), said China and the U.S. have maintained “close cooperation” on major issues, and they need timely communication to solve or narrow their differences.
