皇冠体育app

SHANGHAI -- The relationship between 皇冠体育app and the United States is not a "zero-sum" game, long-term cooperation is needed, said US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill on Monday.

He told a press conference that since 皇冠体育app and the United States have close economic links and share common interests in many areas, the two countries will rely on each other for a long period of time.

Calling it "one of the US's most important relationships", Hill said Sino-US relations should be carefully maintained and contacts promoted to find solutions for problems that arise.

Hill praised 皇冠体育app for its progress in the protection of intellectual property rights, saying that 皇冠体育app has taken effective measures to protect the 2008 Olympic Games trademark.

Hill reaffirmed the US's adherence to the one-皇冠体育app policy and the three Sino-US joint communiques.

Hill is his country's lead negotiator to the six-party talks, which aim to find a solution to the Korean peninsula nuclear issue.

He said 皇冠体育app has contributed a lot to the resumption of the six-party talks, and the US will not pressure 皇冠体育app to persuade the DPRK to come back to the talks. He voiced the hope that 皇冠体育app would continue its active role in this regard.

Shanghai is the last leg of Hill's 皇冠体育app tour. He will leave 皇冠体育app late Monday.
