Wang praises US cooperation plan

Foreign Minister Wang Yi hailed on Monday US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's proposal that the two countries jointly chart the course for bilateral cooperation over the next 50 years.

At the annual China Development Forum in Beijing on Monday, Wang noted Tillerson's proposal, which was raised during the secretary's weekend stay in Beijing. Tillerson was on his first China visit and Wang said the proposal is "motivating".

"China has always viewed the China-US relations for the long term and the nation is willing to advance the relationship with a long-term strategic view," Wang said.
