Xi and Trump have also discussed trade and economic cooperation between Beijing and Washington, stressing the need to maintain the trends existing in this area, according to the media outlet.
The tensions around North Korea's nuclear program have remained high over the past year because of Pyongyang's repeated nuclear and ballistic missile tests in violation of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. As a response measure, the UNSC has introduced multiple sanctions against Pyongyang in order to impede the development of its nuclear program.
