WASHINGTON, March 3 -- A visiting senior Chinese official and his U.S. hosts have agreed that the two countries should settle their trade disputes by cooperation rather than confrontation, so as to secure the healthy development of bilateral economic and trade ties.

Liu He, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, director of the General Office of the Central Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs and also the leader of the Chinese side in the bilateral Comprehensive Economic Dialogue, came to the Unites States at the invitation of the U.S. government and has stayed here from Feb. 27 to March 3.

During the consultations, Liu said that Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump have charted the course of Beijing-Washington ties in their close communications this year through telephone calls and exchanges of letters.

The two countries should work together to implement the consensus of the two leaders, expand pragmatic cooperation in economic and trade exchanges, jointly push for the settlement of the pressing issues, promote balanced development of the China-U.S. economic and trade relationships so as to bring more benefits to the two peoples, said Liu.

China will advance its comprehensive reform and opening up, he said.

He also said that the two countries have complementary economic advantages and huge potentials for cooperation, adding that stable economic and trade ties between them conform to the fundamental interests of the two countries and help global prosperity.
