In a message on Monday, Xi praised Carter’s lifelong dedication to strengthening ties between China and the U.S., emphasizing his historic role in the 1979 establishment of formal bilateral relations. 🌍 “The late president made long-term contributions to our countries’ cooperation and friendship,” Xi said, expressing “deep regret” over his death.
Highlighting the global importance of China-U.S. relations, Xi urged both sides to prioritize their people’s interests and work toward “sound, stable, and sustainable development.” ✨ The message reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize cross-Pacific engagement amid recent geopolitical tensions.
