Hu highlighted the remarkable progress in bilateral ties since the two nations forged diplomatic relations 30 years ago, saying the two had “worked closer” on many fields in the new century.
He recalled his meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama in London last month, saying the two had agreed to promote a “positive,” “cooperative” and “comprehensive” relationship to set the tone for development of bilateral ties.
China was willing, along with the United States, to make unremitting efforts to forge a positive, cooperative and comprehensive bilateral relationship in the 21st century, Hu said, stressing that mutual effort should be made based on equality and mutual respect.
He said differences could be handled through dialogue and consultation.
