Photo exhibition on China-US exchanges opens in Shanghai

Zhang Xiaosong, director of Shanghai municipal foreign affairs office, said the city bears a great significance in the evolution of China-US ties.

"In 1972, the Shanghai Communique set the stage to restore China-US diplomatic relations… and Shanghai was also among the first cities to participate in China-US cooperation," he said. "Over the past 40 years, Shanghai has seen closer exchanges with the US, registered fruitful results and promoted China-US relations as a whole."
