FOREIGN MINISTER WANG: (In Chinese.)

SECRETARY TILLERSON: Well, thank you very much, Mr. Foreign Minister, and thank you for accommodating the changing schedule, and my apologies for the trouble. But it is an indication of, I think, the importance that we both place on this relationship, and I appreciate you receiving my delegation so we can have a further exchange on a number of issues important to both of us, but in particular to begin important work to prepare for the upcoming visit of President Trump to China, which he is looking forward to as well. And so, again, thank you for receiving us, and I hope these talks will be very fruitful for both of us. Thank you.
