Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies, gentlemen, friends:

Beijing in July, the journal Lancet Cui-Qing, Acacia fragrance. In this beautiful season, the sixth round of Sino-US strategic and economic dialogue and the fifth round of Sino-US cultural exchanges opened high-level talks, very glad to have the opportunity to meet friends. First of all, I thank you for coming to the United States to friends a warm welcome! To care for and support the development of relations between the two countries for a long time from all walks of life, to express our sincere thanks!

We are today the Diaoyutai history has witnessed a series of major Sino-US relations, Kissinger's secret visit to China, Nixon's historic visit to China, Sino-US relations negotiations here have a close relationship. Formally established diplomatic relations with China in 1979 was stunned the world's big events, not only changed the pattern of international relations, new era also opened the exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and American people.

For 35 years, although Sino-US relations experienced ups and downs, but overall was moving forward, got a historic development. Dialogue mechanisms between the two established over more than 90 Governments. Bilateral trade volume has increased by more than 200 times, reached more than 520 billion US dollars last year. Two-way investment has exceeded 100 billion US dollars. Both countries have set up 41 pairs of sister provinces the States and 202 pairs of sister cities. Bilateral personnel exchanges more than 4 million visitors a year. Sino-US cooperation will not only benefit the Chinese and American peoples, and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world.

As early as in 1979, Mr Deng Xiaoping pointed out: the interest interests of the two peoples and world peace we know from the international situation as a whole and take a long-term strategic view of Sino-US relations. Today, both countries world GDP world one-third, one-fourth, one-fifth per cent of the world total trade. Moreover, the deep communion of interests of both countries, and both history and reality show that is beneficial to China and, were hurt. Sino-US cooperation can be beneficial to both countries and the world's events, Chinese-American confrontation a calamity for both countries and the world. In such circumstances, both sides should scale greater heights to strengthen cooperation, insist on cooperation and avoid confrontation, not only benefit both countries, but also the world economy.

Nearly 1000 years ago, the Chinese writer Su Shi of the Song dynasty said: "to be watched, and when; go not loser, also. "The development of Sino-US relations when to let nature, potential, the times. For 35 years, despite an international environment and our two respective countries has undergone profound changes, but China-US relations can overcome difficulties and keep moving, because is generations of leaders of the two countries to grasp the pulse of the times, constantly adding new meaning and motivation of Sino-US relations. Today, our two sides should size up the situation, change the way of thinking, creative thinking, constantly to create a new situation for bilateral cooperation.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!

Last summer, I join President Obama in the United States, California held a historic meeting in annaboge Manor, working together to build a new type of relations between China and the important consensus reached. Since then, I was with President Obama when they meet in Saint Petersburg and the Hague, reaffirmed that consensus.

Building a new type of relations between the two sides on the basis of summing up historical experiences and proceeding from the national conditions and international situation, and jointly make major strategic decisions, in line with the fundamental interests of the peoples of the two countries and peoples, and also reflects the strong commitment of both sides to break the traditional rules of great power conflict confrontation, to create a new development model of relations between big powers of political responsibility.

Last year, construction of a new type of relations between China and new progress had been made. The two countries continue to work together to cope with the international financial crisis, efforts to promote the recovery of the world economy. Around about closely coordinated in international and regional issues as well as global issues, work together to meet the challenges of future fate of humanity at stake. Deepening bilateral pragmatic exchanges and cooperation in various fields of the two countries, and ensure that the peoples of the two countries continue to benefit from it.

Constructing a new type of relations between China and is an unprecedented cause of him and after restart, there is no ready-made experience and model could be replicated, some difficult twists, surprising. Problem is not terrible, the key is we have to work together to solve the problem, and the problem cannot be led by the nose. Looking forward to the next period, I would like to talk about several points of view and opinions.

First, to increase mutual trust, to navigate. How to judge each other's strategic intent of both countries, will directly affect what kind of policies, development of what kind of relationship between the parties. You cannot make mistakes on this fundamental issue, otherwise it will be a wrong is wrong. China has put forward the "two 100 year" goal, the Chinese dream is trying to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, is more necessary than ever to a peaceful and stable external environment. The Chinese people cherish peace, advocating "and for you", that "do unto others". China will unswervingly follow the road of peaceful development, and firmly adheres to the Kiss, Cheng, Hui, the foreign concept of tolerance, is firmly committed to developing friendly relations with the countries of the region and the world.

"High flying bird, wide sea diving. "I have always believed that broad has enough space to accommodate the Pacific between the two powers. The two sides should strengthen dialogue, increase mutual trust and promote cooperation, and ensure that Sino-US relations have not deviated from building a new type of relations on track.

Second, mutual respect, poly assimilation of differences. Between different historical and cultural traditions, social systems, ideologies, and different levels of economic development, the two sides have different views on some issues, and differences and frictions are hardly avoidable. Central America is a special nation, there must be differences in many respects, a distinction is required communication and cooperation. We both should insisted from think big, grasp building new powers relationship total target, recognize between common interests far is greater than differences; should mutual respect, and equal phase stay, respect each other sovereignty and territory full, respect each other on development road of select, not put himself of wills and mode imposed Yu other; should at tube controlled contradictions and friction, insisted through dialogue consultations, and to constructive way promotion understanding, and expanded consensus. As long as we both adhere to mutual respect, get assimilated, and strategic patience, it does not matter for the temptations is not disturbed by said, Sino-US relations will be able to ride safely and wenzuodiaoyutai.

Thirdly, equality and mutual benefit, deepen cooperation. Under the new situation, cooperation in broader areas of China-US cooperation, should be. Chance needs to create and innovation have a chance, is the so-called "astute listening in the silence, found in the Ming did not form". Both are creative people, in terms of promoting the development of bilateral relations, in particular, needs to adapt to time development and innovation. We should be thinking, constantly tap potentials for cooperation, nurture cooperation highlights. We should accelerated bilateral investment agreement negotiations, towards early on into a high, and two-way balance of agreement, advance Sino-US economic relationship construction; should deepening two army dialogue, perfect communication and cooperation mechanism, advance Sino-US military relationship construction; should in two-way and benefit based Shang strengthened dialogue cooperation, common combat all form of terrorism; should played respective advantage, and bear respective obligations, common should climate changes this a global challenge; should strengthened in major international and area problem Shang of communication and coordination, To maintain and promote world peace and contribute more to the stability and prosperity.

Finally, people, friendship. People of China and has a simple and friendly affection for each other. The Foundation of Sino-US friendship in people, hope in youth. I have visited United States, so did the average American house guest, United States the sincere hospitality of the people that I was deeply moved.

Present era, the rapid development of economic globalization, social Informationization, but telephone, Internet can never replace human communication and exchanges with people face to face. Is rooted in the heart of friendship is unbreakable. We would like to encourage and expand the friendly exchanges between the two peoples, and exchanges between local, think-tanks, media, youth, community communication channels, constantly consolidate the basis of Sino-American friendship society and the public.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!

Hope both realistic, long-term, in-depth communication, halfway and, for the construction of a new type of relations between China and inject more positive energy.

There is a Chinese saying: "just work hard enough, a needle. "United States poet, Moore said:" the victory won't come to me, me victory. "Building a new type of relations between China and a mission and responsibility. "Encircle the huge tree that fills; nine-story tower rises from a heap of Earth. "Let us fill the mountain spirit, step by step, to join hands in promoting the construction of a new type of relations, and strive to create a better tomorrow for Sino-US relations!
