BEIJING, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday in Beijing.

He called on the United States to work with China to implement the important consensus reached by their leaders and promote a healthy development of bilateral ties.

Wang called on both sides to constantly inject impetus into their cooperation, and settle the trade issues properly with a win-win approach.

He said the two countries should be aware that common interests as well as dialogue and cooperation remain the mainstream of the China-U.S. relationship, and both sides should respect each other's core interests and major concerns, adding that he hopes the United States will firmly adhere to the one-China principle and handle Taiwan-related issues properly.
