SEATTLE, United States, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday called for the world's two largest economies to read each other's strategic intentions correctly and manage their differences properly and effectively.
As part of his suggestions on building a new model of major-country relationship between China and the United States, Xi also proposed that the two countries unswervingly boost win-win cooperation and extensively foster friendship between the two peoples.
Xi arrived in the U.S. West Coast technology and aviation hub of Seattle on Tuesday morning, starting his first state visit to the country.
In his major policy speech delivered at a welcoming banquet hosted by the local government of Washington State and American friendly groups, the president also responded to concerns from the international community about China's current economic situation and the development path it will pursue.
China will stay committed to steady economic growth, reform, opening-up, rule of law, anti-corruption endeavors and the path of peaceful development, Xi said.
