01:27 - Moving forward on the agenda

01:51 that our president set requires active diplomacy.

01:55 And there's no substitute in our judgment

01:56 for face-to-face diplomacy in order to try to move forward,

02:01 but also to make sure that we're as clear as possible

02:04 about the areas where we have differences,

02:06 at the very least to avoid misunderstandings,

02:10 to avoid miscalculations.

02:11 That really is a shared responsibility that we have,

02:14 not only for our own people,

02:16 but for people around the world,

02:18 given the impact that the relationship

02:19 between our countries has around the world.

02:22 I look forward in these discussions

02:24 to being very clear, very direct,

02:27 about the areas where we have differences

02:29 and where the United States stands.

02:31 And I have no doubt you will do the same on behalf of China.

02:34 But I underscore again, it's important that we do that,

02:38 important to demonstrate that we're managing responsibly

02:41 the most consequential relationship,

02:43 I think, for both of us in the world.

02:45 I hope we can make some progress

02:48 on the issues that our presidents agreed

02:50 we should cooperate on,

02:51 but also clarify our differences, our intent,

02:56 and make very clear to each other where we stand.

02:59 So again, thank you for having us here today.

03:01 I look forward to a very good discussion, as always.

03:04 Thank you.
