China and the US should manage their differences and ward off interferences, Hu said, expressing the hope that the United States would adopt a positive and pragmatic China policy. He called on the US to prevent domestic politics from disturbing China-US ties, and support the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Strait with concrete action.

Hu said China is ready to continue frank dialogues and pragmatic cooperation with the United States and boost mutual trust so as to keep a healthy interaction in the Asia-Pacific region. China, he said, expects the Unites States to respect its interests and concerns, and is open to further communication and coordination with the United States on hot-button regional issues.

For his part, Obama agreed with Hu's outlook on the next phase of the bilateral relationship, saying that his country is willing to build upon the existing achievements and push US-Sino relations further forward.

A prosperous and stable China is in the interests of the United States and the world, just as a prosperous and growing United States benefits China and the world, he said.
