China's police chief meets U.S. secretary of state

BEIJING, April 26 -- Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday in Beijing.

Wang said the two sides should adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and promote bilateral cooperation in terms of both drug control and law enforcement.

Wang noted that the U.S. side should take practical steps to resolve issues including unjustifiable harassment, interrogation and deportation of Chinese students, smearing of China's normal international law enforcement cooperation, and the setting up of barriers hampering people-to-people exchanges.

The U.S. side should inject positive energy into bilateral relations, Wang said.

The two sides agreed to strengthen communication in relevant areas.
