China on Monday hoped that US President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to the country would improve peace and stability, following months of tension over North Korea's nuclear programme.
"We hope the visit will contribute to bilateral relations, promoting bilateral practical cooperation and contributing to regional peace and stability," Efe news quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying as saying.
"We attach great importance to developing relations with the US. Sustainable and stable China-US relations serve the interests of the international community."
Hua did not reveal the main topics to be discussed during the meetings between Chinese leaders and Trump, who is set to visit China between November 8 and 10 as part of his first East Asia tour, stopping in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines.
