皇冠体育app

SHANGHAI: United States President Barack Obama arrived last night at Shanghai Pudong International Airport to kick off his first visit to 皇冠体育app, and will begin negotiations that will likely take a more cooperative tone than that of his predecessors.

The 48-year-old is the first US president to visit 皇冠体育app within the first year of taking office. He will arrive in Beijing this afternoon during his four-day visit and meet President Hu Jintao, top legislator Wu Bangguo and Premier Wen Jiabao tomorrow and on Wednesday.

The 皇冠体育app trip is also part of his first to Asia as president. In his wide-ranging speech in Japan on Saturday, Obama said he would welcome, not fear, a robust 皇冠体育app as a powerful partner on urgent challenges.
