State visit

Hu Jintao's visit is of great significance.

The spokesman for the US State Department, crow, used the word "long" to address the 5 foreign ministers' talks at noon.

According to US media reports, the working luncheon held on that day lasted for 2 hours, and the foreign ministers of the two countries discussed in detail the arrangement of President Hu Jintao's visit to the United States.

Speaking before the talks, Hilary said that the two sides are actively preparing for the upcoming state visit to China by Chinese President Hu Jintao. She described the visit of President Hu Jintao as an expectation, and said, "Minister Yang and I strongly feel the responsibility to maintain a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship between the two countries".

Yang Jiechi said President Hu Jintao's preparations for the visit to the United States this month are progressing well.

He said that President Hu Jintao will pay a state visit to the United States on January, which is of great significance.

It is believed that with the joint efforts of both sides, this visit will point out the direction for the future development of Sino US relations, enhance the pragmatic cooperation between the two countries to a new level, effectively promote dialogue and exchanges between the two peoples, and make important contributions to the promotion of regional and world peace, stability and development.

Yang Jiechi also said that Sino US relations are on the right track.

The heads of state of the two countries have maintained close contacts, and the two sides have established a high-level consultation mechanism for Sino US strategic and economic dialogue and cultural exchanges.

The two countries have jointly responded to the international financial crisis. New progress has been made in exchanges and cooperation in important bilateral areas, and effective communication and coordination on regional hotspot issues and global issues have been made to promote the active cooperation and comprehensive relations between China and the United States.

Korean issue

The United States has high hopes for the "Hu Olympic Games".

It is reported that apart from the details of Hu Jintao's visit to the US, the two foreign ministers also held consultations on a series of issues, including the DPRK, the RMB exchange rate, trade and economic cooperation, Iran, climate change, Taiwan, maritime power and human rights.

Crowley, spokesman of the State Department, revealed that the foreign ministers of the two countries most talked about the DPRK issue the same day.

He said that the two sides had "absolute consensus" on regional stability and demanded that North Korea fulfil its obligations of joint declaration in 2005, stressing the importance of dialogue.

Crowley said the US side is open to bilateral or multilateral dialogues, but North Korea should prove its sincerity so that South Korea and the United States can see that North Korea is ready for a sustainable and constructive dialogue, which needs to be demonstrated by North Korea.

Crowley said that both China and the United States are looking forward to stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula. "Neither side of us wants to see North Korea become a nuclear power."

He said: "we are hopeful that we will reach a consensus on the DPRK issue at the upcoming US China Summit. We look forward to finding the best way for the DPRK to abandon its nuclear program."

At present, the US State Department special representative for the DPRK policy Bosworth is visiting East Asia. Some analysts believe that the United States is likely to hear the views of the parties on the resumption of the six party talks through Bosworth.

On the 19 day, the summit between China and the United States is likely to reach agreement on the resumption of the six party talks.

According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei, 6, Bosworth met with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun on 6, and held talks with the Chinese government special representative for the Korean Peninsula affairs. Wu Dawei exchanged in-depth views on the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the six party talks, and promoted the six party talks with the same intention.

Exchange rate problem

Obama would like to mention exchange rate flexibility.

Some analysts also believe that the North Korean issue can not be the main topic of the Sino US summit. After all, this is a matter of third countries. Directly related issues between China and the United States will become the biggest focus of the summit.

White House spokesman Gibbs's speech on 5 may be confirmed.

Gibbs announced the 4 major issues of Sino US Summit on 5 th. The exchange rate, the global economy, human rights and the North Korean issue will be the focus of the Sino US summit.

Gibbs believes that the DPRK issue will definitely take two heads of time, but the issue of RMB exchange rate will be the focus of attention of the United States. When meeting with Hu Jintao, Obama will once again urge China to enhance its exchange rate flexibility.

He said: "China plays a very important role in the global economy. China must take action on its RMB exchange rate. When President Hu visits us, President Obama will continue to mention this as he did when he met with Minister Yang."

According to its introduction, President Obama joined the White House on the 4 day at the White House and talked with Yang Jiechi, President of the US national security affairs assistant, and talked about the issue of RMB exchange rate with Yang Jiechi.

On the exchange rate and economic and trade issues, Yang Jiechi also met with the US finance minister Geithner and the commerce minister Luo Jiahui on the 4 and 5 days in Washington, respectively, on the preparations for the upcoming state visit to the United States and the exchange of views between China and the United States on President Hu Jintao's upcoming state visit to the United States.

The RMB exchange rate will become a major focus of Sino US summit talks. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said at a regular press conference 6, China will unswervingly push forward the reform of the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism, adhere to the principle of initiative, controllability and gradualism, adhere to the market based supply and demand, and have a managed floating exchange rate system, so as to maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a reasonable and balanced level.

A large number of facts have proved that the RMB exchange rate is not the main cause of Sino US trade imbalance.

Hong Lei said that the essence of Sino US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win.

China has always advocated that through equal consultation, some frictions and differences in economic and trade cooperation between the two countries should be handled in order to safeguard the healthy and stable development of Sino US economic and trade relations.

The trade imbalance between China and the United States is mainly caused by the international division of labor in the context of economic globalization. The export restrictions imposed by the United States on high-tech products are also partly caused.

China has no intention to pursue trade surplus with the United States. It has and will continue to take positive measures to expand imports from the United States and promote balanced development of trade between the two countries.

The Ministry of foreign affairs of China:

It is hoped that all parties will work together to restart the six party talks as soon as possible.

According to sources from South Korea, the proposal put forward by the DPRK media on the 5 day that the DPRK and ROK authorities should hold talks unconditionally and as soon as possible, said Jin Yingshan, spokesman for the Ministry of foreign affairs and trade of the ROK, 6, the relevant departments are studying the background and intention of the DPRK proposal.

Jin Yingshan said at a regular press conference on the same day that the South Korean government adhered to this position, that is, North Korea should show sincerity in the dialogue between South Korea and North Korea and relations between the two Koreas.

Jin Yingshan said that the South Korean government has not yet put forward the conditions for dialogue with North Korea. In view of the past "Tianan" and "Yin Ping Island shelling", in order to ease the tension on the Korean Peninsula, the DPRK should take corresponding measures to show responsibility to the Korean nationals and the international community.

In addition, Kim Kyong Ting, spokesman for the presidential office of Korea, questioned the proposal of the DPRK on the Korean DPRK talks 6 days ago. She said that some overseas media believed that the move of the DPRK was a propaganda tactic and not a proposal of sincerity.

At a regular press conference held on the 6 day of the Ministry of foreign affairs of China, foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Lei pointed out that dialogue and consultation is the only effective way to solve the related issues on the Korean Peninsula.

Hong Lei said that the six party talks have been stagnant for more than two years. China hopes that all parties concerned will work together to restart the six party talks as soon as possible and implement the "9. 19 joint statement" in a comprehensive and balanced way through the talks.
