WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart, Barack Obama, exchanged views on governance, bilateral ties and other issues of common concern in a three-hour-long talk in the Blair House Thursday night.
Xi said that reform and opening up are basic state policies of China and fundamental driving forces for the country's future development.
Pointing out that China is a participator, constructor, contributor as well as a beneficiary of existing international system, Xi said reforming and adjusting the current system is not about creating a new one, rather, they are aimed to make it more just and rational.
China's Belt and Road initiative and proposal for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are open, transparent and inclusive, and are conducive to economic development, employment and poverty reduction in relevant countries, Xi said.
U.S.-China collaboration in climate change and in helping West Africa combat the deadly Ebola epidemic are both paradigms of bilateral cooperation in addressing global challenges, Obama said.
China and other emerging countries deserve more say and representative in international system in this polarized world, he said, adding the United States expects China to play a more important role on world stage.
Meanwhile, Xi stressed that China and the Untied States should enhance strategic mutual trust at high level. "I've said many times that the Pacific Ocean is big enough for the development of both China and the United States," he said.
Facts have proven that the goal of building a new type of major-country relationship between China and the United States is not only correct, but also of great vitality, Xi said, calling on the two countries to strengthen high-level exchanges, expand cooperation, handle differences properly and enhance guidance of public opinion, to maintain a sound momentum (势头) and lay a solid foundation for the future development of bilateral ties.
Obama said he is confident that the United States and China have the ability to manage differences, and that competition between the two countries is constructive and positive.
The Chinese president arrived in Washington earlier Thursday after a busy two-and-a-half-day stay in West Coast hub Seattle, continuing his first ever state visit to the United States.
