China, the U.S. Forge Tourism Cooperation for "San Francisco Vision"

In a recent message to the 14th China-U.S. Tourism Leadership Summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of using the summit as a platform for deep exchanges and consensus-building to promote tourism cooperation. He highlighted the role of tourism in fostering China-U.S. friendship and turning the San Francisco vision into reality.

Xi's message reflects his commitment to enhancing non-governmental friendship and people-to-people exchanges between China and the U.S. He has consistently engaged with various segments of American society to strengthen bilateral relations at a grassroots level.

The "San Francisco vision," outlined by Xi and U.S. President Joe Biden during their meeting, emphasizes mutual cooperation, effective dispute management, and robust people-to-people exchanges. Tourism serves as a vital bridge for cultural understanding and mutual appreciation between the two nations.

Efforts to implement the San Francisco vision have led to stabilized China-U.S. relations, with increased bilateral dialogue and cooperation. Initiatives such as inviting young Americans to China for exchange programs demonstrate a commitment to deepening mutual understanding and building stronger ties.

Despite differences in history and culture, expanding tourism cooperation is seen as crucial for fostering stable and sustainable development of China-U.S. relations. Both countries recognize the importance of promoting friendly exchanges and dialogue to address misunderstandings and biases.

As China welcomes tourists from around the world, including Americans, efforts to facilitate travel and cultural exchanges are prioritized. By turning the San Francisco vision into reality and consolidating people-to-people friendships, China and the U.S. aim to contribute to global stability and strengthen bilateral relations in their 45th year of diplomatic ties.
