On November 23, 2011, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi met with visiting U.S. Under-Secretary of State Wendy Sherman. Both sides exchanged views on China-U.S. relations as well as international and regional issues.

The stable development of bilateral ties is in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and is good for the world, Yang said, adding that China and the U.S. should earnestly implement a series of important consensuses reached by their top leaders, strengthen communication and expand cooperation. China and the U.S should respect each other's core interests and properly deal with sensitive issues to push bilateral relations toward the right track, Yang said.

The development of bilateral ties and cooperation is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples, said Sherman, noting that the U.S. is firmly committed to it.

Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai and Assistant Foreign Minister Wu Hailong also met respectively with Sherman and her delegation.
