"I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry on our friendship, expand cooperation, and promote the well-being of both our peoples," Chinese President Xi Jinping said at a White House welcoming ceremony on Thursday.
The Chinese leader's state visit to the United States, from Wednesday to Friday, drew worldwide attention.
Fighter jets flew over the airport and the White House in tribute, and 21-gun salutes were fired at the airport as Xi arrived and departed. The special arrangements reflected the importance Trump attached to Xi's trip.
A number of new consensuses were reached during the visit.
The two sides also agreed to build a constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability based on respect, fairness and reciprocity.
