(ECNS) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed Wednesday to establish a working group on counternarcotics cooperation.

They reached the agreement during a summit at Filoli Estate, a historic estate approximately 40 km south of San Francisco, California.

Xi also said that the two countries have broad common interests in a wide range of areas, including traditional areas such as the economy, trade and agriculture, as well as emerging areas such as climate change and artificial intelligence (AI).

It is important to fully utilize the restored and new mechanisms in foreign policy, economy, finance, commerce, agriculture and other fields, and carry out cooperation in such areas as counternarcotics, judicial and law enforcement affairs, AI, and science and technology, he added.
