On Xi's Visit

As President Xi Jinping is about to pay a state visit to the United States, China is willing to work with the US on preparations and to ensure the historical visit will be a complete success, Wang said.

The visit will enhance planning over mutual beneficial cooperation in various domains, boost the construction of a new type of relationship between major powers, and send positive signals to the international community, Wang said.

Kerry said Washington is willing to work with China to ensure a successful visit by the Chinese president.

The US is also ready to boost various cooperation with China and it hails China's outstanding contribution during the World's Anti-Fascist War, Kerry said.

Beijing is ready to press ahead with mutually beneficial cooperation in regard to the bilateral investment treaty, trust building measures between the two militaries, and address climate change, Wang said.

Other cooperative items on the agenda include finance, economics and trade, energy, the return of fugitives and illegal assets, and development, according to Wang.

China is also willing to boost coordination in regard to international and regional issues such as the North Korea nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Middle East and Afghanistan, in order to play a constructive role in championing world peace and stability.

Kerry said it endorses China's important and positive role in addressing issues such as the Iran nuclear issue, the North Korea nuclear issue and climate change.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of victory in World War II.

"It was countries such as China and the United States who jointly established the international order and international system centering on the United Nations," Wang said.

Now China is "the one who constructs and champions the international order", and China is also ready to work with various parties to consistently reform and perfect this system to make it better adapt to the shared expectations of all countries, Wang said.
