Chinese President Hu Jintao told US President Barack Obama that his state visit to the United States was aimed at increasing mutual trust, enhancing friendship, deepening cooperation and pushing forward the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century.
"I hope that through this visit, our two countries will advance the positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship and open a new chapter in our cooperation as partners," Hu said at a welcome ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House.
Both countries "share broad common interests and important common responsibilities" and should adopt a long-term perspective and seek common ground while reserving differences, Hu told Obama.
"Our cooperation as partners should be based on mutual respect...on mutual benefit," Hu said.
China and the US should respect each other's choice of development path and core interests, and seek to learn from each other through exchanges and achieve win-win progress through cooperation, Hu said.
Cooperation as partners between the two sides should also be based on joint efforts to meet challenges and the extensive involvement of the people, Hu added.
Welcoming China's rise "as a strong, prosperous member" of the community of nations, Obama said the US and China had "an enormous stake in each other's success."
"Nations including our own will be more prosperous and secure when we work together," Obama said.
"We learn from our people. Chinese students and educators, including the Chinese Americans here today, work together to make progress every day.
"We can cooperate in a spirit of mutual respect for our mutual benefit," Obama said.
During Hu's visit, Chinese officials said, Hu is due to meet people from various walks of life in the US, and would take the opportunity to elaborate on China's domestic and foreign policies and on how to advance his country's ties with the US in the new era.
China and the US are now each other's second largest trading partner. Two-way trade is expected to top US380 billion in 2010. China has been the fastest-growing major export market for the US for nine consecutive years.
