Fifth China - U.S. relations conference kicks off in Texas, U.S.
A high-level conference on promoting China-U.S. relations kicked off Sunday at Texas A&M University in east central Texas.
The 2011 China-U.S. Relations Conference, the fifth in the series that began in 2003, was attended by prominent governmental, businesses and academic leaders from China and the U.S..
The conference, under the theme of "Institutionalizing Collaborative Research and Partnership", aims to promote, strengthen and expand academic and business collaborations between the two countries.
"By working together, China and the United States can achieve a lot not only for the two countries, but also for the rest of the world," Zhang Yesui, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., said in his opening speech.
"The U.S.-China conference series has greatly enhanced the academic, research and people-to-people exchanges between China and Texas A&M," former U.S. President George Bush said in a message delivered prior to the conference.
"China and the United States have a close cooperative relationship and this conference series adds to strengthening the mutual relations between our countries," said Bush.
The former U.S. president attended the opening ceremony of the conference on Sunday.
The Chinese delegation, headed by Zhang Yesui, included Li Xiaolin, President of Chinese People's Association of Friendship with Foreign Countries and Cao Jianlin, Vice Minister of Science and Technology.
The U.S. contingent included U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and a number of government officials and scholars.
Topics scheduled to be addressed include economic and trade relations, collaborations and joint ventures; joint energy research opportunities and development policies and the future of U.S.-China relations from a historical and comparative perspective.
About 600 delegates attended the two-day conference co-hosted by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, Texas A&M University and its George Bush School of Government and Public Service and the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
