Chinese Foreign Ministry
In response to a question about the remarks made by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday that he expected to seal a good trade deal with the Chinese leader at APEC next week - even as he warned the highly anticipated sit-down might yet be cancelled, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic guiding role in China-US relations.
"The heads of state of the two countries maintain close exchanges and communication. Regarding the specific issue mentioned, I currently have no information to provide," Guo said.
