Premier Wen Jiabao speaks with US President Barack Obama before their bilateral meeting at the United Nations headquarters

The common interests of China and the United States far outweigh their differences, Premier Wen Jiabao said on September 23, 2010 during his meeting with US President Barack Obama. The two-hour meeting between Wen and Obama on the sidelines of the general debate of 65th session of the United Nations General Assembly focused on regional and world issues, with a call for more cooperation. The Chinese premier said his nation and the US can bolster joint efforts on significant international and regional affairs, as well as on global financial woes and climate change.
Outcomes: 
China is ready to coordinate closely with the US, foster favorable conditions for President Hu Jintao's visit next year and push bilateral ties to a higher level, assured Wen. Obama said his administration has established an active, cooperative and broad relationship with China, calling China an "outstanding partner".
