2014年CRI 习近平会见海合会代表团 奥巴马宣布调整情报监控项目（在线收听）

Chinese president Xi Jinping has met with a delegation from the Gulf Cooperation Council on the sidelines of the third round of China-GCC strategic discussions.

Xi Jinping says China will continue to work with the GCC to strengthen planning and expand cooperation,

as well as continue a successful partnership.

The Chinese president also says

the Chinese government supports the GCC member efforts to safeguard sovereignty and regional stability in the Middle East and Gulf region.

U.S. President Barack Obama has called for changes to the National Security Agency (NSA)'s controversial surveillance practices,

including the bulk collection of U.S. citizens' phone records.

Speaking at the Justice Department, Obama outlined his plan to pull back some of the NSA's surveillance programs,

seven months following the disclosures of the secret surveillance programs by formal defense contractor Edward Snowden.

Among the proposals, Obama said

he was seeking to alter the bulk collection of domestic phone records, known as Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.

Obama has been carefully evaluating for weeks the 46 recommendations brought up by an outside advisory group appointed by himself.
