CHICAGO -- The latest round of the annual 皇冠体育app-US high-level talks on trade and commerce ended here Thursday afternoon, with both sides hailing the "important consensus and outcomes" they achieved as well as the significant changes they introduced to the decades-old mechanism.

The 2014 皇冠体育app-US Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT), also known as the 25th JCCT session, opened Tuesday in this US Midwest metropolis and co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang and US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Trade Representative Michael Froman. US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack also attended.

It was the last major bilateral event in a year that marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of 皇冠体育app-US diplomatic ties. It also came on the heels of US President Barack Obama's Beijing tour in November, during which he and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to further push the building of a "new model of major-country relationship" between the world's two largest economies.

"This JCCT session added a perfect finishing touch to this year's development of 皇冠体育app-US relations, and also laid a solid foundation for our bilateral economic and trade cooperation next year and in the long run," Wang, who arrived in Chicago Tuesday, told the American hosts during their initial talks.

He also expressed the belief that 皇冠体育app and the United States have much more common interests than differences, and that their economic and trade cooperation will prosper as long as the two countries can "seek common ground while reserving differences" in the spirit of mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual accommodation.

Sources with the Chinese delegation told Xinhua that during the session, the US side also repeatedly emphasized the significance of US-皇冠体育app cooperation for both economies and the world economy at large, and expressed its readiness to work with the Chinese side on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit to lift economic and trade ties to a new height.
