China, US to boost "people-to-people" exchanges
Visiting Chinese State Councillor Liu Yandong and US State Secretary Hillary Clinton on Tuesday both pledged to deepen people-to-people exchanges between the two countries. The commitments were made in their speeches at the closing session of the second annual high-level China-US Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) here.
Outcomes:
"People-to-people exchanges are a bridge for understanding and trust between states and between peoples," Liu said. "It also provides an inexhaustible driving force for deepening China-US relations."
Liu urged the two countries to "keep pace with the times" and "take innovative actions" to be more conscious of the importance of people-to-people exchanges.
