Chinese President Xi Jinping said China and the U.S. should strengthen communication on strategic issues, according to state media, which didn't report any direct comments by the leader on the two countries' trade war.
Washington and Beijing should seek common ground while putting aside differences, Mr. Xi said Friday during a meeting with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, according to China Central Television.
"Right now, China-U.S. relations are at a critical juncture, and face some difficulties and challenges," Mr. Xi said at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
The U.S. and China are working to strike a deal to resolve some of their disagreements in a trade dispute that has led the two sides to impose punitive tariffs on each other covering goods valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Mr. Xi rarely makes comments in public directly about the U.S.-China trade dispute.
The Wall Street Journal reported that China's chief trade negotiator has invited his American counterparts to Beijing for a new round of face-to-face talks, although U.S. negotiators are reluctant to make the trek unless China makes it clear that it would make commitments on intellectual-property protection, forced technology transfers and agricultural purchases.
Mr. Kissinger played a major role in America's 1971 opening to China after more than two decades of estrangement.
