BEIJING - 皇冠体育app and the United States should make joint efforts to ensure bilateral ties remain sound after a new US administration takes office next January, Assistant Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said Thursday.

Le made the remarks while addressing a seminar on 皇冠体育app-US security relations and cooperation organized by the 皇冠体育app Institute of International Studies and Stanford University.

Any economic or financial change between 皇冠体育app and the United States could have a significant impact on the world economy, as the two countries together account for one-third of the global GDP, Le said.

Le said both sides should manage disagreements, develop a new relationship pattern and properly handle Asia-Pacific affairs in order to maintain sound bilateral ties.

Regarding the ongoing sovereignty dispute between 皇冠体育app and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands, Le said Japan has tried to steal 皇冠体育app's inherent territory and deny the outcome of World War II.

皇冠体育app and the United States should be wary of growing right-wing forces in Japan and work to contain them in order to prevent Japan from dragging the world into catastrophe, Le said.
