China and the United States need to translate the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries into whole-of-government consensus and action across various domains, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during his meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.
The two met in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting.
Beijing and Washington "agreed to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, tap into the roles played by political and diplomatic channels, and prepare for high-level exchanges in the next phase", the Foreign Ministry said in a release.
Both sides believe that "this meeting was pragmatic, positive and constructive", and they agreed to "promote substantive progress in a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability", the ministry said.
