2014年CRI 习近平和夫人彭丽媛会见美国总统奥巴马夫人米歇尔

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping says he is looking forward to a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama in The Hague, Holland. The meeting on the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit¹ next week will be the first between the two presidents this year.

He also welcomed Obama to attend the summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Beijing in November.

Xi Jinping made the remarks during a meeting with the U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, in the company of his wife Peng Liyuan, at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in downtown Beijing.
