Wang Yi stresses on realizing positive interactions between China and the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific through practical actions, thus adding more momentum into the new-type major-country relationship between the two sides.

On April 13, 2013, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. During the meeting, Wang pointed out that the pursuit of a new-type great power relationship between China and the United States needs to start from the Asia Pacific region, where the Sino-American interests are most intensely interwoven and their interactions are most frequent. In order to add more momentum into the framework of the new-type great power relationship, the two countries should conduct positive interactions in this region and strengthen their dialogue and cooperation. Moreover, the two countries should translate the important consensus reached between the heads of the state of the two countries into practical actions in a concrete way so as to reassure the peoples of the two countries and the countries in this region. By doing that, the Pacific Ocean can become more pacific, Wang said. That would also be a positive signal for the region and the world. The establishment of the new-type great power relationship would definitely thwart the moves of some to undermine the relations of the two countries for their own interests.
