Eighty-five enterprises from 21 Chinese cities and 20 US cities gathered for the second US-China Cities Forum on Economic Cooperation and Investment on Friday and yesterday.

China's Finance Minister Xie Xuren said at the opening ceremony that China and the US share different resource advantages, and strongly complement each other in economic development.
The two economies should expand cooperation in more sectors, especially in energy and environmental protection, biomedicine and infrastructure, so as to turn opportunities into tangible results, Xie said.
