U.S. President Donald Trump has formally invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the United States on September 24.
Speaking at a grand state banquet held in Beijing, Trump extended the invitation to President Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan to be welcomed at the White House. The invitation was proposed amid summit talks and efforts to improve bilateral relations between the two leaders.
The invitation indicates an intent to manage the currently cooled US-China relationship, affected by recent issues including Taiwan, trade disputes, and the Middle East conflicts, through dialogue and negotiation.
The Chinese side has responded positively to the invitation, although formal approval for the visit is yet to be announced. If the visit proceeds, it will mark President Xi’s first trip to the United States in nine years.
