BEIJING, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- The agricultural ministries1 of China and the United States will further enhance agricultural exchanges and cooperation, deepening mutual2 understanding and trust, so as to achieve mutually beneficial development in the future, said Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu on Sunday.
Han made the remarks in an interview with Xinhua prior to Chinese Vice3 President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States.
Agriculture was one of the first areas in which China and the United States began to cooperate, as the two are both large nations of agricultural production, trade and consumption and viewed agriculture as a strategic and basic industry, said Han.
After 30 years development, China-U.S. agricultural cooperation has laid a solid foundation, with extensive exchanges and cooperation at all levels, the minister said.
According to Han, the agricultural ministries of both countries will push forward cooperation in the areas of food security, sustainable development, agricultural trade and science and technology, creating opportunities for cooperation between agricultural enterprises of the two countries and promoting joint4 research on agriculture.
He believes that, with the deepening of agricultural cooperation and the increasing openness of agricultural trade and investment, bilateral5 agricultural cooperation will have broader prospects6.
EFFECTIVE AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION
The United States is a country with advanced agricultural science, technology and research into such fields as seed breeding and production, and has world-class multinational7 companies in agriculture, while China has broad market demands as well as leading technologies in food production, biomass energy and agricultural produce processing, said Han.
It will help improving the agricultural science and technology strength of both nations if China and the United States enhance their cooperation, he argued.
China and the United States have conducted effective cooperation in crop plantation8, stock raising, fishery, agricultural research and education, agricultural product processing and circulation, he explained.
The two nations have launched more than 500 science and technology exchange programs since they established the working group on agricultural science and technology cooperation in 1980, with around 3,000 experts get involved.
They have maintained effective cooperation between academies and universities of agricultural sciences and nurtured9 a great number of talents, which have made important contributions for the advancement10 and development of agricultural science and industry of both nations, said Han.
