conducive to the development of Sino-US relations and China's relationships with
the rest of the world," He Yafei, director of the Department of North American
and Oceanian Affairs, said at a news briefing yesterday.
It will be Hu's first State visit to the US after he became president in
2003. He will meet US President George W. Bush and legislators in Washington DC
and business people in Seattle, and deliver a speech at Yale University in New
Haven.
Also on the list of areas of concern for Hu and Bush may be trade, Taiwan,
energy and nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
China's favourable balance of trade with the US derives from different
economic structures in the two countries. The two economies supplement and
benefit each other instead of competing, and the US should loosen its grip over
its exports, especially high-tech products, to China, He said.
After his US trip, President Hu will travel to Canada and Mexico from
September 8 to 13, and back to New York on September 14 to attend the World
Summit and other activities in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the United
Nations.
Hu will wrap up his tour on September 16 at the UN in a show of China's
support for the world body and multilateralism.
At yesterday's news briefing, He also disclosed that the fourth round of
Six-Party Talks on Korean Peninsula nuclear issue will be resumed in the week of
September 12.
