2015年CRI 中美战略与经济对话闭幕 中美双方总结成果

 

During this year's China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue, as well as the annual China-U.S. High-Level Consultations¹ on People-to-People Exchanges, a wide range of bilateral², regional and global issues have been covered.

Chinese Vice³ Premier⁴ Wang Yang says this year's talks have created the conditions for a stronger foundation and a more stable Sino-U.S. relationship.

"Increasing understanding is an important precondition for the willingness to cooperate between China and the United States. Dialogue and communication is an important way to develop friendly relations between the two countries. The success of the dialogue is yet another testimony⁵ to the maturity⁶ of our major country relationship. It also shows that the S&ED is an indispensable platform for China-US cooperation."

Wang adds the talks have also laid the ground work for the economic agenda of Chinese President Xi Jinping's forthcoming trip to the U.S. in September.

Over 70 different agreements have been worked out as part of the 2-day sessions in Washington.

On the strategic track, Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi says the talks covered a number of different areas.

"Secretary Kerry and I had thorough discussions on how to build a new model for our major country relationship, deepen practical cooperation, enhance China-US cooperation in the Asia-Pacific, handle regional hotspots and global challenges, and manage differences in a constructive⁷ fashion."

For his part, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has described the depth and breadth of the discussions as "significant."

He says this reflects the commitment of both sides to cooperate in issues of common concern.

Kerry says he expects that committment to continue.

"We are anticipating an historic visit by the president of China here. We look forward to continuing to develop the issues that we laid out today on which there is huge increase cooperation."

Kerry also says the U.S. welcomes the emergence⁸ of a stable, peaceful and prosperous China that plays a responsible role in world affairs.

Meanwhile, as part of the People-to-People talks, the two sides say they've come to agreements on around 100 different issues in several areas, including science and technology, education and culture.
