Hu and Obama talk on phone

CHINESE President Hu Jintao held a telephone conversation with US President Barack Obama on bilateral ties on Friday, with both sides expressing willingness to further ties and cooperation.

The Chinese president said China is ready to strengthen dialogue, promote mutual trust and expand cooperation with the United States in a bid to confront various global challenges and encourage stable development of the Sino-US relationship.

Hu said the core interests of each country should be respected by the other and taken into consideration.

Due to the financial crisis, the international community should strengthen coordination and promote closer cooperation, Hu said.

Obama said it is crucial for the US and China, the two most important economies, to enhance cooperation. He added that enhancing bilateral constructive dialogue and cooperation is in the interest of not only the two countries themselves, but the world at large.

Both sides exchanged visit invitations. The two leaders agreed to meet at the G20 summit slated for April in London.
