Hailing the growth of Sino-U.S. relations in the past
30 years, Wu said the development of bilateral relations accords with
fundamental interests of the two nations and the two peoples, and is the common
responsibility of both nations for peace and the development of mankind.
China is ready to work with the new U.S.
administration to deal with ties from strategic and long-term perspective, and
to respect each other's core interests, he said.
He hoped the two nations would improve cooperation
mechanisms, and properly resolve disputes, to jointly advance constructive and
cooperative relations.
Wu said economic and trade relations play an
important part in Sino-U.S. relations.
"China and the United States, as the largest
developing nation and the largest developed nation respectively, enjoy strong
economic complementarity," Wu said.
Mutually beneficial cooperation is the mainstream of
Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations, he said. The two countries should make
more efforts to increase cooperation especially during the current international
financial crisis.
Donohue said the development of his country is
closely linked with China's development.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce would help to increase
mutual trust and cooperation with China, so as to boost the development of
bilateral relations.
