China, US dialogue 'key' to future ties

Geithner, Clinton to represent US in second round of strategic talks

Beijing - China and the United States will hold here in late May the second round of Strategic and Economic Dialogue (SAED), which analysts consider the "key" to determining the future of possibly the most important bilateral relationship in the world.

They say trade relations, the Iran nuclear issue and the value of the Chinese currency are likely to top the meeting agenda in the capital.
