The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called for concrete action to re-mold China-U.S. relations, ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to the country on November.

The remarks were made by China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi during talks with U.S. National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon in Washington.

Both countries need to focus and prepare for the upcoming summit between Obama and President Xi Jinping to achieve tangible results for the improvement of bilateral ties, Wang said.

In order to arrive at a consensus for the creation of a new model of bilateral relations, China and the U.S. must work towards dispelling reciprocal suspicion and foster mutual trust. The two sides should also refrain from intentional miscalculations, especially in Asia where the common interests of both overlap, he added.

Beijing and Washington must see to it that bilateral relations keep moving forward in the right direction, Wang stressed.

Donilon agreed and called on both sides to work together and manage their differences. He urged the two sides to set aside differences and ensure the success of Obama's visit on November, which he said would drive forward the remolding of China-U.S. ties.

At an earlier meeting with former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, Wang reiterated his country's commitment to preserve regional stability and uphold world peace.

Beijing is willing to work with Washington to boost strategic communication and cooperation to address regional and international concerns, he added.

Brzezinski highlighted the need for greater cooperation between China and the U.S., noting the multitude of challenges the world faces today.

He said both countries must remain committed and work together to enhance efforts in promoting world peace, growth and stability.

Obama is scheduled to visit Beijing next month for an informal meeting with leaders of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and is expected to have summit with Xi at the sidelines.
