Deputy Secretary Negroponte To Host the U.S.-China Senior Dialogue

Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte and Executive Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo will hold the fourth round of the U.S.-China Senior Dialogue June 20-21, 2007 in Washington, D.C. The meetings will begin on Wednesday, June 20 at 9:45 a.m. at the Department of State. The two are expected to discuss U.S.-China bilateral relations and a range of key global issues, including security in Northeast Asia, energy and the environment, and Iran, Darfur, and other areas of international concern.

In May, before Congress, Deputy Secretary Negroponte said, "China's rise as a global economic power is one of the major events of our time. And with China's economic strength has come increased political and diplomatic influence within and beyond the Asia Pacific region. The United States acknowledges and accepts these developments. Nevertheless, our strategic presence and bilateral alliances remain the unshakeable bedrock of our strong Asia policy. They form the main guarantees of peace, stability, and prosperity throughout the region. Indeed, our enduring commitment to Asia enhances our ability to encourage China to fulfill its potential as a partner in achieving common goals."

The U.S.-China Senior Dialogue is an important forum for both countries to discuss issues of strategic and political importance, including how to achieve our common goals.
