2014年CRI 中美战略与经济对话在京开幕 习近平同埃塞俄比亚总统举行会谈

 

Today will see a resumption of the annual high-level discussions between China and the United States here in Beijing.

In opening this year's Strategic and Economic Dialogue yesterday, both China's President and the US Secretary of State have suggested both sides need to work toward common goals.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the delegates attending the meetings to set aside their differences, at least for the time being.

For his part, US Secretary of State John Kerry says the US is willing to take concrete action to achieve common prosperity.

The annual sessions will wrap up later today.

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with his Ethiopian counterpart Mulatu Teshome here in Beijing.

Xi Jinping says he appreciates Mulatu's decision to choose China as the first country to visit since taking office last October.

The Chinese president says China supports Ethiopia's drive for prosperity, and says he's going to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Ethiopia.
