Follow-Up: State Department Releases Readout of Rubio Call With Wang Yi: Trump to Travel to China for APEC, Xi to Visit Florida for G20

Washington — The U.S. Department of State's Office of the Spokesman released a readout on November 11 saying Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio spoke that day with Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the CCP Central Foreign Affairs Commission, a member of the Political Bureau and China's Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that the call took place at China's request.
The two discussed President Trump's upcoming travel to China to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, and General Secretary Xi's upcoming visit to Florida to attend the Group of 20 (G20) Summit, the readout said.
The Secretary and the Director recalled the bilateral leader-level commitment to a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness, and reciprocity.
They agreed on the importance of meaningful leader-level conversations to advance goals such as peace and denuclearization, including at any potential trilateral leaders meeting with Russia, the readout said.
GSM reported the call earlier in the day based on the Chinese side's account; with the U.S. readout now released, the subjects discussed are confirmed in the State Department's own wording.
