ALEX WONGGETTY IMAGESAFP China and the United States should firmly keep their bilateral relationship on the right track, according to a message from President Xi Jinping to be delivered to US President Barack Obama.
Facing a complex and ever-changing global environment, both nations have vast areas over which they should, and can, cooperate, according to the president.
During high-level talks between the two countries on Tuesday Nike Vapormax Pas Cher Livraison gratuits , Vice-Premier Liu Yandong quoted Xi as saying that the priority for China's foreign policy is to build a new type of major country relationship with the US based on non-confrontation, non-conflict, mutual cooperation and a win-win principle.
Xi, who is scheduled to pay a state visit to the US in September, said in his message that if the two nations focus on the bilateral relationship, respect and take care of each other's core interests and avoid strategic misunderstanding and miscalculation Nike Vapormax Pas Cher France , their differences can be managed and controlled and common interests can be protected.
Xi's remarks came as the joint opening ceremony was staged in Washington DC for the seventh China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue and the sixth China-US High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange.
Vice-Premiers Liu and Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi attended along with US Vice-President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew.
Liu said Xi placed high emphasis on this year's dialogue and consultation and asked her, Wang and Yang to pass his message to Obama.
Biden said, "We don't see eye-to-eye (on certain issues) but we should not stop working hand-in-hand," citing an earlier speech by Xi on the joint relationship that mentioned "casting our eyes to the far horizon".
Biden reiterated the US stance of welcoming China's rise and emphasized the importance of managing areas of disagreements to build a long and sustainable relationship.
He also praised China's contribution in many areas, including climate change Nike Vapormax Bleu Pas Cher , the nuclear issue in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, China's role in the UN and UN peacekeeping and working with the US to combat the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa.
Kerry, who arrived at the State Department on crutches following his recent bike accident in France, said the US is particularly looking forward to Xi's upcoming visit.
"We are excited about the prospect of cooperation between the two nations," he said, adding that this will help other countries when they see China and the US working together.
While the dialogue and consultation have been hailed by both countries as an effective way to expand cooperation and manage differences Nike Vapormax Blanche Pas Cher , they have also been used to pave the way for fruitful visits by the presidents of the two nations.
In Beijing in November, Xi and Obama reached landmark deals on climate change as well as on visa extensions and military confidence-building.
Ahead of Tuesday's opening ceremony, senior civilian and military officials from the two countries met in Washington on Monday for the fifth China-US Strategic Security Dialogue.
They discussed a host of important issues and exchanged views on strategic and comprehensive security topics of common concern. The Chinese delegation described the talks as being conducted in a "candid, practical and constructive way."
Tao Wenzhao, a senior researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said both countries have "cooled down" over the South China Sea issue.
Jeffrey Bader Nike Vapormax Noir Pas Cher , a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former special assistant to Obama for national security affairs, said he believed the two countries should engage and cooperate with each other more, and not less as suggested in some quarters.

BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- At 83, George Schaller Nike Vapormax Bordeaux Pas Cher , has the drive and enthusiasm of a man half his age.
Recognized by many as the world's leading field biologist, Schaller has dedicated five decades to wildlife conservation. He once woke up from a nap to find himself surrounded by a pride of lions in Tanzania; has been stalked by a wolf on the Tibetan Plateau; and was left the dubious "present" of a pile of droppings on his camp bed from a kind Giant Panda -- all in the line of duty.
Schaller is currently on a three-week research mission, with a team of Chinese scientists in northeast China's Qinghai Province, to track and study the shy snow leopard. The largest population of wild snow leopard is found on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.@ He is no stranger to this cold, bleak terrain, having been instrumental to much of the region's conservation work over the past 30 years. Unlike perhaps any other octogenarian Basket Nike Vapormax Pas Cher , rather than balking at the prospect of camping in the snowy mountains, battered by icy winds and gasping for breath in the thin air, Schaller prizes it. In what other setting could he encounter such rare and elusive animals in their natural domain?
"Everything in nature is related," he said.
The snow leopard is the flagship species at Sanjiangyuan (the Three Rivers Nature Reserve), where the headwaters of the Yellow River, the Yangtze and the Mekong flow Nike Vapormax Pas Cher Solde , eventually providing water for millions of people.
Animal conservation is a trickle-down business. If big animals are protected, then so, too, are thousands of other species, and by association, the water resources will also be protected Nike Vapormax Pas Cher , Schaller explained to Xinhua.
