BEIJING -- Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Beijing on Friday.

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 US 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 US side should inject positive energy into bilateral relations, Wang said.

The two sides agreed to strengthen communication in relevant areas.
