Chinese Vice President Han Zheng urged further efforts to strengthen China-US relations when meeting with former US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao in Beijing on Wednesday.

Han noted that the heads of state have agreed on a new vision for a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability, providing important strategic guidance for future ties.

Han stressed China's longstanding commitment to developing stable bilateral relations, and called for joint action from all sectors on both sides to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state.

He urged efforts to further strengthen cooperation in economic and trade areas, and deepen cultural, people-to-people and subnational exchanges, to build broader support for the development of bilateral relations.

Chao said maintaining stable US-China relations serves the interests of all parties, and expressed the willingness to continue making efforts to promote practical cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
