The fifth round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue will be held in Washington, DC, on July 10 and 11. It is another important step forward taken by the two governments in their efforts to build a new model of major-country relationship after President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama met at the Annenberg Estate in California last month.
The China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) was established in April 2009 by then Chinese President Hu Jintao and US President Barrack Obama. It provides for a bilateral forum at the highest levels to discuss a broad range of issues between the two countries. The dialogue is seen as an essential step toward advancing a positive, constructive, and comprehensive relationship between the sides.
In early June, President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama had eight hours of no-necktie meetings in California in which they outlined their vision of China and the United States working together to create a new model of the major-country relationship.
