Chinese President Jiang Zemin said he wishes and believes that his meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush will have a positive impact on the improvement and development of Sino-U.S. relations.
Jiang made the remark when meeting the press jointly with Bush after concluding their formal talks at the Great Hall of the People Thursday.
He said that China and the United States have different conditions and that the existence of some differences is normal.
He and President Bush discussed these problems candidly.
He said that as long as both sides adhere to the spirit of mutual respect, equality, and seeking common ground while reserving differences, the two sides could continuously reduce differences, have consensus on a broader range of issues and promote cooperation between the two countries.
