More than 100 Chinese officials, led
by Vice Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo, will
attend the first round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue,
scheduled for July 27-28 in Washington.
The first round of the dialogue is a “reincarnation” in a broader format of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue set up by former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, said Xinhua News Agency.
The new mechanism was jointly launched by Chinese President Hu Jintao and his US counterpart Barack Obama during their meeting in London in April.
The dialogue will focus on issues of strategic, overall and long-term significance in order to "deepen understanding, enhance mutual trust and promote cooperation," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman was quoted by Xinhua News Agency as saying at a press conference earlier this month.
The agency also cited a Chinese finance official as saying that China will explicitly raise at the "Economic Track" dialogue the hope that the United States "should make responsible economic policies, including financial and monetary policies, to maintain stability of the US dollar and safeguard safety of China 's assets."
On the agenda of the "Strategic Track" dialogue, the two sides would discuss the resumption of the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue for a peaceful resolution.
On the US side, the dialogue is expected to be joined by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. US President Obama will address the opening session and meet with the Chinese delegation after the dialogue./.
