Mr. Li said that in recent years China-US relations have encountered great difficulties, which have adversely affected both countries and the world. He said that as major countries, China and the US share many common interests and their cooperation will benefit everyone. The Prime Minister said China wants to boost dialogues with the US based on mutual respect and equality.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Thursday that two Chinese officials will visit the US next Thursday to attend a bilateral strategic dialogue, the first meeting of high-ranking officials of the two countries since Joe Biden became the US President.
