Xi said he had communicated with President Donald Trump several times through telephone conversations and messages.
Trump has so far been an unpredictable partner for China, attacking Beijing on issues ranging from trade to the South China Sea and in December by talking to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
Tillerson replied that Trump looks forward to enhancing understanding with China and places a "very high value on the communications that have already occurred" between Xi and Trump.
