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, the two development goals of both countries are not mutually exclusive or a zero-sum equation. We may well help each other and work with each other. China's renewal will provide the US with a stable and sustainable market; a vibrant US will provide a better external environment for China's development. The key is to embrace an open mind and respect each other's right to development, and appreciate each other's accomplishments. In the final analysis, for the sake of our two countries and the world, we must find a way for two major countries different in social system and cultural background to live together on this planet in peace and to cooperate with each other for win-win results.
