WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping to congratulate him on a new leadership line-up unveiled at the Communist Party Congress in Beijing.

The two also discussed North Korea and trade, Trump said in a Twitter post.

“Spoke to President Xi of China to congratulate him on his extraordinary elevation. Also discussed NoKo & trade, two very important subjects!” Trump wrote.

Xi told Trump China would “unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development” and promote “coordination and cooperation among world major powers”, the official Xinhua news agency reported late on Wednesday.

“China attaches great importance to the Sino-U.S. relations and is willing to promote the long-term, healthy and stable development of bilateral relations on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefits,” Xinhua cited Xi as saying.

Trump is expected to meet Xi when he visits China next month, when the two are likely to discuss issues related to North Korea and U.S.-China trade.

Trump on Chinese President Xi Jinping: ‘We Have a Very Good Relationship’

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he has a "very good relationship" with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Trump spoke with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs in the White House about his relationship with Xi, who recently was added into the Chinese Communist party's constitution, making him the most powerful leader in China since Mao Zedong.

"Just spoke to him a few minutes ago, just before I walked into the room," Trump said. "You know, something has been given to him that's … virtually, virtually never happened in China. He's been given powers that nobody has—"

"And written into the constitution," Dobbs noted.

"He's a powerful man. I happen to think he's a very good person," Trump said. "Now with that being said he represents China, I represent the USA, so you know, there's always going to be conflict, but we have a very good relationship."

"People say we have the best relationship of any president … because he's called president also, now some people might call him the king of China, but he's called president, but we have a very good relationship and that's a positive thing and it would be good to have that relationship with Russia and other countries too," Trump said.

Trump has sought to work with China since taking office in putting pressure on North Korea and its rogue nuclear program.
