Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday:

“Today I met President Xi Jinping of China at the 8th annual US-China Internet Industry Forum in Seattle. The Forum is an opportunity for CEOs of technology companies to meet with government officials from the US and China to discuss common issues for the future of our industry.

This is also part of President Xi’s state visit to the US, and you can follow updates from his visit on his Facebook page: Xi’s US Visit.

On a personal note, this was the first time I’ve ever spoken with a world leader entirely in a foreign language. I consider that a meaningful personal milestone. It was an honor to meet President Xi and other leaders.”
