Talking about the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, Wang and Pence acknowledged the important consensus both sides have on the de-nuclearisation of the peninsula and the need to safeguard the international non-proliferation regime.

Pence said the US and China have great cooperation potential in a wide range of areas and that the two countries should push for continuous progress in practical cooperation.
“US President Donald Trump treasures his good relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and is looking forward to his state visit to China,” said Pence.
