More concrete results will emerge from upcoming Sino-US dialogue, analysts say
Closer co-operation on Korean nuclear threats and growing mutual economic reliance will produce results, analysts say
The closer co-operation between China and the United States over North Korea's continuing nuclear threats will provide new momentum in the upcoming China-US strategic and economic dialogue, analysts say.
That is also in view of the increasingly mutual reliance between the world's two largest economies and the need to revive their economic dynamism amid the global uncertainty, according to analysts.
The US Treasury Department said on Saturday that the fifth meeting of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) would be held in Washington from July 8 to 12.
Vice-Premier Wang Yang and State Councillor Yang Jiechi will head the Chinese delegation meeting their US counterparts led by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and Secretary of State John Kerry.
This will be the first high-level and comprehensive dialogue between Beijing and Washington after both sides underwent major reshuffles of cabinets this year.
"From the closer co-operation on the Korean issue as a result of frequent consultations, including telephone conversation between President Obama and Xi Jinping and the visits by US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and Secretary of State John Kerry, one can expect the new momentum in the upcoming dialogue," said Shi Yinhong , director of the Centre for American Studies at Renmin University.
Hao Hong, managing director and head of research at Bank of Communications (International), said Beijing's co-operation with Washington on Pyongyang's nuclear belligerence would help boost co-operation in the upcoming dialogue.
