CHINESE President Hu Jintao left Chicago for home yesterday after concluding a four-day state visit to the United States, during which Hu and his US counterpart Barack Obama agreed to build a China-US cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.
President Hu, who began his visit on Tuesday, had extensive and in-depth discussions with Obama at the White House on Wednesday on major bilateral, regional and world issues.
The two sides reached "important agreement on China-US relations and major international and regional issues of shared interest," the Chinese president said when he and Obama met the press following their discussions.
"We both agree to further push forward the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship," Hu said, adding that both sides also pledged to forge "a China-US cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit" for the benefit of the two countries and beyond.
The Chinese president said he and Obama also discussed some disagreements in the economic and trade area, with both sides pledging "to continue to appropriately resolve these according to the principle of mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing."
Also on Wednesday, Hu attended a state dinner and a welcome ceremony hosted by Obama.
Hu told the Americans on several occasions in Washington that the purpose of his visit to the United States was "to increase mutual trust, enhance friendship, deepen cooperation and advance the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century."
During Hu's visit, the two countries issued the "China-US Joint Statement," which says "China and the United States committed to work together to build a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit in order to promote the common interests of both countries and to address the 21st century's opportunities and challenges."
"China and the United States are actively cooperating on a wide range of security, economic, social, energy, and environmental issues which require deeper bilateral engagement and coordination," the statement said.
On Thursday, Hu called upon the US Congress to continue helping the two countries boost their relations.
Pursuing a healthy and steady development of China-US ties is China's established policy and strategic choice, Hu stressed when meeting House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
