Building a good, stable, and productive China-U.S. relationship is in our mutual interest of our two countries and our two peoples, and also contributes to peace and development.

China and the United States have major influence in international affairs and shoulder important responsibilities in upholding world peace and promoting common development.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, thanks to the concerted efforts of both sides, China-U.S. relationship has on the whole enjoyed steady growth. Since President Obama took office, we have maintained close contact through exchange of visits, meetings, telephone conversations and letters.

China recognizes and also respects the universality of human rights. We will continue our efforts to promote democracy and the rule of law.

In order to address world economic imbalances, countries around the world should make joint efforts to adjust their economic structure.
