Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on Wednesday called on the U.S. business community to play a more important role in promoting exchanges and cooperation in various areas such as economy and trade between China and the United States.
Han made the remarks when meeting with Executive Chairman of Visa, Al Kelly in Beijing.
Han said that for China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies, deepening economic and trade cooperation can achieve mutual benefits and win-win results, which is crucial to the global industrial and supply chains.
The world needs an overall stable China-U.S. relationship, and the key lies in adhering to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, and implementing the consensus reached between the two heads of state at the Bali Summit, Han said.
"China will unswervingly advance high-level opening-up, and welcome foreign companies, including those from the U.S., to invest and do business in China," he said, expressing the hope that the U.S. business community will play a more important role in promoting bilateral exchanges and cooperation on economy and trade.
Al Kelly said that China's economic and social development is full of vitality, and its achievements in digital payment are impressive.
He said Visa has full confidence in its investment in China and stands ready to expand long-term cooperation with China and contribute to bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
