Chinese President Xi Jinping and the U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, have pledged that both powers would work to strengthen a relationship that has been unsettled, by disputes over North Korea and trade relations.
Xi met Tillerson in Beijing just hours, after North Korea tested both nations’ unity, again, with a provocative rocket test.
Xi told Tillerson that He and US President Donald Trump, had resolved to make joint efforts to advance China-US cooperation, and that the relationship will move ahead in a constructive fashion in the new era.
Tillerson also visited US allies Japan and South Korea, where he declared Washington would drop the “failed” approach of strategic patience diplomacy with Pyongyang .
