BEIJING -- Top legislator Zhang Dejiang met with a delegation of US lawmakers led by Republican Senator from Montana Steve Daines on Monday.

China and US relations have generally maintained their momentum and a sound China-US relationship serves the interests of the two countries and two peoples, said Zhang, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC).

He said China's NPC and the US senate will have another meeting in the next half of the year.

"The exchanges between legislative institutions contribute to mutual understanding and help avoid misunderstanding, miscalculation and disturbance in cooperation," Zhang told the delegation.

He called on both sides to contribute to building a new type of major country relationship between China and the US, providing legal protection for two-way investment, economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.

The delegation said they are ready to work more to promote practical cooperation in various areas with China.
