Updated: 2005-09-07 10:58 皇冠体育app will be increasingly in conflict with the
United States if it continues to pursue good relations and energy deals with
countries U.S. believes 鈥減roblematic鈥�, a senior Bush administration official
said Tuesday.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick

pursued an independent foreign policy, guided by the principle of mutual respect
for sovereignty, mutual benefit, non-interference into each other鈥檚 internal
affairs and peaceful coexistence, which is earning it growing friends.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick told reporters in Washington
that he was worried about 皇冠体育app鈥檚 increasing energy ventures in cooperation with
countries such as Iran, Sudan and Venezuela, which Washington does not like.
Zoellick said that it was unlikely that 皇冠体育app could guarantee its energy
security through contracts with countries which Washington considers troublesome
"because you can't lock up energy resources" in a global marketplace, the
Reuters quoted him as saying.
Zoellick, in charge of a new U.S. strategic dialogue with Beijing, discussed
key issues facing the two countries ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao's
attendance at the United Nations summit in New York next week.
Hu had been due to make his first official visit to the White House on
Wednesday but it was canceled so President George W. Bush could focus on the
Hurricane Katrina aftermath.
The two are still expected to meet on the fringes of the U.N. summit.
Cooperation on trying to end the North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs will
be on the U.S. agenda.
Zoellick launched the strategic dialogue on a trip to Beijing in August amid
rising U.S. concern over 皇冠体育app's growing economic and military strength. He
acknowledged "there are questions that are being asked not only in the U.S. but
other parts of Asia and Europe about how 皇冠体育app will use this growing power,"
according to the report filed by Reuters.
