China's leader Xi Jinping will visit the United States this week to hold talks with President Donald Trump, Beijing announced on Monday. Xi Jinping will be in Washington D.C. from Wednesday through Friday, according to a government statement.

Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun revealed that the two leaders will engage in a thorough exchange of views on major issues affecting China-U.S. relations and global peace and development. China aims to bolster the substance of the relationship characterized by constructive strategic stability between the two nations, as well as to enhance dialogue and cooperation, and manage differences appropriately, Guo added.

The United States had previously confirmed that a meeting between the leaders of the world's two largest economies was scheduled for the week, likely to address tensions over trade, technology, and broader strategic concerns. As part of the visit, U.S. President Donald Trump will personally welcome Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, prior to their meetings the following day. This will be the first time U.S. President Trump has welcomed Xi since his state visit to China in May.
