BEIJING: Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng expressed hope on Monday that the U.S. side will work with China to promote the stable, sound, and sustainable development of bilateral economic and trade ties.
When meeting with a U.S. congressional delegation led by Representative Adam Smith in Beijing, He said phone talks between the Chinese and U.S. heads of state last week had provided strategic guidance for the stable development of bilateral ties in the next stage.
As the two countries have broad space for cooperation and extensive common interests, it is hoped that the U.S. side will engage in candid communication with China and jointly build up mutual trust and dispel misgivings by following the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, He said.
He called on members of the U.S. Congress to play a positive role in facilitating the shared development of both countries through opening up communication channels and helping enhance dialogues.
