President Trump: From the time of my first election in 2016, President Xi and I have forged a friendship; a truly great friendship, actually, built on mutual respect and the vital interests of our people.

President Xi Jinping: Facing the changes in our world, in our times and of historical significance today, China and the United States, as two major countries, shoulder a historic responsibility of advancing human development and progress.

President Xi Jinping: We should coexist in peace. As I have said many times, China and the United States, as two major countries, stand to gain from cooperation, and will both lose in confrontation. We do not need to avoid mentioning competition, but our competition should be a healthy one, and should be kept within bounds. It should be a race of catching up with one another, not a wrestle in which one either wins or loses. China and the United States must Hold The Line of no conflict, and no confrontation between us. And that we can certainly find the right path for two great countries to get along on this planet we both call home.

President Xi Jinping: Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and Making America Great Again, can go hand in hand. Let us meet the people's expectation, and show our historical initiative. Let us keep advancing the cause of friendship between our two peoples, and work together to build a better world.
