BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Vice President Xi Jinping on Thursday called on the world's top two economies to increase macro economic policy coordination and boost market confidence.
"In face of a complicated and fast-changing world, cooperation is the only correct choice of the two countries," Xi said.
Xi raised an additional three proposals during his two-hour talks with his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
He called on China and the United States to deepen the comprehensive and mutually-beneficial economic partnership, improve global economic governance through the Group of 20 (G20) and other platforms as the international financial market has turned increasingly turbulent and global economic growth faces grim challenges.
"China and the United States are transforming their economic development modes and restructuring their economies, which has provided the two nations with good opportunities for cooperation," Xi said.
Xi also suggested the two nations should stay firm in building the China-U.S. partnership for cooperation.
China and the United States differ in terms of history, social system, and level of development, yet their common interests far exceed differences, Xi said.
He urged the two countries to take an objective and rational view of their respective progress and properly evaluate each other's strategic purpose.
Xi said high level exchanges should play a leading role in promoting strategic mutual trust, adding that the two sides should continue to enhance coordination and cooperation to ensure the success of the meetings between the leaders of the two countries at such multilateral gatherings as the G-20 summit, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization summit, and the East Asia summit.
China and the Unites States should make good use of and seek better development for bilateral negotiation platforms like the China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogues, China-U.S. High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange, Sino-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, as well as the newly formed China-U.S. Strategic Security Dialogue and China-U.S. Consultations on the Asia-Pacific, he said.
Xi also called on the two nations to expand military exchanges and cooperation as well as exchanges between the political parties, localities and non-governmental sectors of the two countries in a spirit of respect, mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit.
"The key to ensure a healthy and steady development of China-U.S. relations is to respect each other's core interests," Xi said.
He said the Chinese people cherish the development path and political system of their own choosing, state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Taiwan and Tibet-related issues, which concern China's core interests and the feelings of 1.3 billion Chinese, should be handled prudently and properly to avoid damaging China-U.S. relations, he said.
Xi called on both sides to increase dialogue and cooperation on Asia-Pacific issues and develop a structure of sound interaction between the two countries in Asia and the Pacific.
Biden's six-day China tour, which started on Wednesday, is the first of the planned reciprocal visits between the vice presidents that were announced during President Hu's state visit to the United States in January.
Apart from Beijing, Xi will accompany Biden to Chengdu, capital of southwestern Sichuan Province.
