"The relationship between China and the United States is an important relationship. This trip will make it stronger," Bush said in a brief meeting with the press together with Chinese President Hu Jintao after their official talks.

Describing China as an important trade partner of the United States, Bush said the two countries share many common opportunities and challenges in the 21st century.

On the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, Bush said both the United States and China seek a Korean Peninsula that is stable with peace and free of nuclear weapons.

He thanked China for its leading role in the six-party talks.

"The fourth round of the six-party talks in September ended with a joint statement, in which North Korea promised to abandon all nuclear weapons and all existing nuclear programs," Bush said. "The United States expects them to honor their commitment."

He expressed "the deepest condolence" to China on the death of Chinese citizens in the terrorist attack in Amman, Jordan.

"Terrorism is a threat to both of our two countries. We welcome China's cooperation in the war against terrorism," the US president said.

Bush highlighted economic cooperation between the United States and China, saying that the two countries would continue their joint efforts in the areas of market access and the protection of intellectual property rights.
