BEIJING, July 5 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States will discuss a series of major issues of common concern during the 5th China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) next week in Washington, according to China's Foreign Ministry.

The issues will include cyber security, Asia-Pacific cooperation, climate change, energy security, economic cooperation and other major international and regional affairs.

Assistant Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang and Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao told a press briefing on Friday that China is ready to make joint efforts with the U.S. to achieve positive results on the basis of mutual respect and win-win cooperation.

The June summit between President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama drew a blueprint for China-U.S. relations, Zheng said, noting that both sides will further exchange views on building a new type of relationship between major powers.

The dialogue will be co-chaired by Vice Premier Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, who will be acting as special representatives of Xi, as well as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who will be acting as special representatives of Obama.

Delegates from more than 20 Chinese government departments will attend the dialogue, according to Zheng.

In the S&ED, both sides will hold talks on expanding bilateral trade and investment cooperation, Zhu said, adding that China hopes the U.S. will provide a fair and transparent environment for Chinese investment.

China also hopes the U.S. will take substantial actions to lift the ban on the exportation of high-tech products to China as well as recognize China's market economy status as soon as possible, according to Zhu.
