On September 24, 2019 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended a dinner co-hosted by National Committee on United States (US)-China Relations, US-China Business Council, US Chamber of Commerce and Council on Foreign Relations in New York, and delivered a keynote speech.

Wang Yi said, if the China-US relationship is to remain stable, it is most important that we respect each other's territorial sovereignty, social system and development path, and try not to impose one's will or model on the other. China will never interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, and we trust that the American people are capable of sorting out their own problems. Likewise, we expect the US to treat China in the same spirit and not interfere in China's internal affairs.
