BEIJING - Chinse Vice-President Li Yuanchao and State Councilor Yang Jiechi on Wednesday met separately with visiting US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns.
Noting that this year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of China-US diplomatic relations, Li called on the two countries to implement the important consensus of their presidents and stick to the direction of building new-model relations between major powers.
Li urged the two countries to actively expand pragmatic cooperation, properly manage differences and sensitive issues, advance multiple-tier and all-round exchanges and seek positive growth of China-US relations.
Burns said good China-US relations matter not only to the two countries, but also to the whole world.
