China and US hold successful strategic talks

Vice-Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang told reporters after the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue held in Beijing that the two sides reached 120 concrete achievements in nine areas in the strategic channel of the two-way dialogue.

State Councilor Yang Jiechi and US Secretary of State John Kerry co-chaired the strategic talks.

According to Zheng, the two militaries will carry out more policy dialogue and joint training. The two navies will have "substantial" joint exercises during mutual warship visits.

Anti-corruption cooperation will be strengthened, especially in refusing entry of corrupt officials, reparation of relevant criminals and illicit assets recovery.

China and the US will also join hands to face global terrorist threats - beef up information sharing, fight cross-border flow of foreign terrorist fighters and counter terrorism financing.

They will have a vice-minister level anti-terror consultation in Washington later this year.

In a strategic security dialogue, the two sides discussed security issues including the cross-Strait situation and maritime, and cyber and outer space security, Zheng said.
