Updated: 2008-12-16 16:37 WASHINGTON - China and the United States reached broad consensus on bilateral, regional and international issues in their sixth strategic dialogue held in Washington Monday. The meeting, co-chaired by visiting Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo and US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, focused on how to keep the healthy and stable momentum in the development of China-US relations and how to enhance the two-way cooperation and coordination on regional and global issues. Dai, who is paying a weeklong working visit to the United States for the dialogue, noted that this round of dialogue was taking place at an important time as the two countries are going to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations. The past three decades, he said, has witnessed continued development of China-US relations and the unceasing enrichment of the strategic foundation of bilateral ties. Dai said that the link of common interests in bilateral relations has become increasingly firm while a new situation of mutual integration of interests has developed. Dai noted that over recent years, the definition of China-US relations has become more specific, that the global significance of China-US relations has become more conspicuous, that the channel for dialogue between the two countries has been better unclogged, that the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries has become more extensive, and that the social basis for China-US friendship has become firmer. So far, China-US relations have entered a crucial stage which serves as a link between past and future, and have faced both new challenges and news opportunities, he said. Dai said the two sides should hold on to the general direction of relations of constructive cooperation with a strategic and long-term vision, strengthen high-level exchanges and dialogue to keep enhancing strategic mutual trust, properly handle the Taiwan issue to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, extend the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries with a developing vision and a open-minded way of thinking, strengthen the exchange of view and coordination between the two countries on major regional and international issues, properly handle any difference and sensitive issue between the two countries, and develop nongovernmental exchanges in an in-depth way. |
