China said Tuesday it will make joint efforts with the United
States to ensure the success of the 18th China-US Joint Commission
on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) and the third China-US Strategic
Economic Dialogue (SED) to be held this December in Beijing.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said the JCCT
and SED are an important platform for the two countries to deepen
understanding and promote sound development of economic and trade
relations.
The SED focuses on the strategic, long-term and comprehensive
issues within economic relations and the JCCT stresses on the
development of bilateral economic and trade cooperation as well as
the discussion on specific issues, Liu said.
Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi will chair the two meetings and China
is willing to make joint efforts with the US side to ensure the
success of the meetings so as to push ahead China-US economic and
trade ties, Liu added.
