（单词翻译）

Next Tuesday to Friday will be Chinese President Xi Jinping's first official State visit to the United States since taking office around two years ago.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi says the trip is mostly going to be a trust-building exercise.

"President Xi Jinping's visit is meant to promote mutual¹ trust and dismiss suspicion between the two countries. He will have several conferences with President Obama and people of various circles in the US, with peaceful development and win-win cooperation clearly as the main agenda. He's going to promote the idea that truth and reconciliation² benefits both sides, while antagonism³ only hurts one-another. President Xi Jinping will make it clear that there would be no conflicts between China and USA on specific issues, including world order, as well as order in the Asia-Pacific."

A series of collaborative agreements are also due to be signed in areas such as finance, trade, energy and climate change.

But Wang Yi says the main goal of the trip is to reach-out to the average person in the US.

"President Xi Jinping will spend a lot of time interacting with people in different states, different companies and friendly groups. He'll be giving a lot of speeches, as well as meeting with students and teachers. This is one area where a series of significant initiatives are going to be announced. We believe the President's visit will generate a new wave of interest in China in US society."

As part of his time in the United States, Xi Jinping will be making a stop at UN headquarters in New York to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

"Together with the international community, President Xi Jinping will talk about the arduous⁴ process humanity had to go through to achieve peace. At the same time, the President will also outline China's stand on a number of international issues. He will also announce steps the Chinese side is going to take in support of the United Nations, as well as promoting China's responsibility and obligation in safeguarding world peace."

President Xi Jinping's forthcoming time in the US will be the third meeting between himself and U.S. President Barack Obama over the past three years.
