新华社马尼拉7月22日电（记者赵晨捷 李萌）中共中央政治局委员、外交部长王毅22日在马尼拉会见美国国务卿鲁比奥。

Wang Yi said that this year is a "big year" for China-US relations. The two heads of state successfully held a historic meeting in Beijing, established the positioning of a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability, and set out the direction for the two sides' joint efforts. This is important progress made by China and the United States, two major countries, in exploring a path of peaceful coexistence; it accords with the fundamental interests of the two peoples and with the common expectations of the international community. Our responsibility now is to follow the track set by the two heads of state, eliminate interference and overcome obstacles, and ensure that the leaders' consensus is transformed into whole-of-government, all-domain consensus and action — using China-US strategic stability to promote peace and tranquility in the world, and using constructive China-US interaction to provide important impetus for international cooperation. Wang Yi also set out China's stern position on a series of recent negative words and deeds by the US side, demanding that the US respect China's core interests, abide by the one-China principle, earnestly manage contradictions and differences, and address China's legitimate concerns, so that this year of opportunity for China-US relations becomes reality.

王毅表示，今年是中美关系的“大年”。两国元首在北京成功举行历史性会晤，确定了中美建设性战略稳定关系的定位，提出了双方共同努力的方向。这是中美两个大国在探索和平共处道路上取得的重要进展，符合两国人民根本利益，符合国际社会共同期待。现在我们的责任是，沿着两国元首设定的轨道，排除干扰、克服障碍，确保将领导人的共识转化为全政府、各领域的共识和行动，以中美的战略稳定促进世界的和平安宁，以中美的建设性互动为国际合作提供重要动力。王毅还就近期美方的一系列消极言行阐明中方严正立场，要求美方尊重中国的核心利益，恪守一个中国原则，切实管控矛盾分歧，解决中方正当关切，让中美关系的机遇之年照进现实。

The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional hotspot issues.

双方还就国际地区热点问题交换了意见。

The two sides agreed that this meeting was pragmatic, positive, and constructive, and agreed to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, give play to the role of political and diplomatic channels, prepare well for high-level exchanges in the next stage, and push for substantive progress in the constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability.

双方认为，此次会晤务实、积极、富有建设性，同意共同落实两国元首达成的重要共识，发挥政治外交渠道作用，筹备好下阶段高层交往，推动中美建设性战略稳定关系取得实质进展。
