Xi Jinping stated that archives carry the wisdom of our ancestors and contain enlightenment for the future. For 250 years, the American people have pursued the American Dream, building a prosperous nation and a beautiful homeland on the North American continent. The Chinese people, inheriting the 5,000-year-old cultural tradition of the Chinese nation, are continuously achieving new successes on the new journey of realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China and the United States are two countries with distinct characteristics. Despite differences in history, culture, social systems, and development paths, the aspirations of the two peoples for a better life are shared. Acknowledging and respecting each other's differences, understanding and learning from one another, finding common ground, expanding cooperation opportunities, and properly managing differences are crucial for the steady and long-term development of bilateral relations.

On the afternoon of September 25th local time, President Xi Jinping concluded his state visit to the United States and returned to Beijing.

Upon leaving Washington, senior U.S. government officials saw him off at the airport. A 21-gun salute was fired at the airport.
