BEIJING - Chinese and US presidents had in-depth communication and achieved fruitful outcomes in their Beijing meeting, China's top diplomat Wang Yi said on Friday.

Wang made the remarks when he briefed the press on the meeting between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump during Trump's state visit to China from May 13 to 15.

Their meeting included formal talks, a welcome banquet, a private meeting and a visit, Wang said, adding that the leaders spent nearly nine hours in interactions, with a tone of mutual respect, shared commitment to peace, and a willingness to cooperate.
