Chinese VP calls for deeper strategic mutual trust with U.S.
WASHINGTON, Feb 14, 2012 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Chinese Vice President Xi
Jinping suggested here Tuesday that China and the United States
promote "strategic mutual trust" by respecting each other's core
interests and accommodating each other's major concerns.
"The development of cooperative partnership could be guaranteed
only when the two sides view each other's strategic intention and
development path in a correct and objective way, respect each
other's core interests and accommodate each other's major
concerns, avoid making troubles for each other and do not cross
over each other's bottom lines," Xi said in his talks with his
U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden.
Xi said Taiwan and Tibet issues concern China's core interests.
He expressed the hope that the U.S. side could deal with these
issues prudently and properly so as to avoid repeated disturbances
to bilateral ties.
Xi urged the two sides to treat each other candidly and to
enhance dialogue and communication.
Leaders of the two countries should maintain close contact via
exchanges of visits, meetings, telephone conversations, letters
and other means, and communicate with each other on major and
pressing issues regarding China-U.S. relations in a timely manner,
he said.
Xi suggested the two sides should make full use of various
dialogue and consultation mechanisms to provide ever fresh impetus
to forging the bilateral cooperative partnership.
The two countries could also further enhance exchanges and
cooperation in such areas as trade, anti-terrorism,
non-proliferation, environment and science and technology, and
between localities and youths of the two countries, he said.
He said China supports the U.S. side's efforts to send 100,000
students to China for studies and pledged Chinese efforts in
advancing educational exchange programs.
Xi also urged the two sides to enhance cooperation within
multilateral frameworks and maintain close coordination on
international and regional hotspot issues so as to maintain
regional peace and stability.
Both countries should step up cooperation in combating pirates
and cross-border crimes, maintaining cyber security, and
addressing various non-traditional security threats, he said.
China would like to enhance dialogue with the United States on
Asia-Pacific affairs so as to promote positive interaction between
the two countries, Xi said.
Xi started his five-day official visit to the United States on
Monday at the invitation of Biden. He met U.S. President Barack
Obama on Tuesday.
