US President Joe Biden accepted the Letter of Credence of China's new Ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, at the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Friday.

Biden welcomed Xie to his new post, and the two talked about the China-US relationship, according to a press release from the Chinese embassy.

Xie, who arrived in the United States on May 23, said that his appointment as the 12th Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the US means to him not only honor, but also enormous responsibilities.
