中方官员谈中美合作要点

国务院副总理刘延东在《今日美国报》发表题为《系牢中美人文交流纽带（For Closer Bonds Between Chinese and American People）》的署名文章。

要点摘录：
多年来，中美关系虽经风雨，但人员往来、人文交流从未停止。特别是在应对气候变化、突发灾害、反对恐怖主义等全球性挑战面前，两国政府和人民总是携手并肩，通力合作。
Over the years, despite twists and turns in our bilateral ties, people-to-people exchanges have never ceased. Particularly in the face of global challenges such as climate change, natural disasters and terrorism, our two governments and peoples have worked together hand in hand.

中国有句古话，唯以心相交，方能成其久远。中美两国虽然文化不同，制度各异，但只要彼此敞开心扉，相互尊重，求同存异，就可以跨越任何鸿沟，让两国关系的道路越走越宽。
As an old saying in China goes, only heart-to-heart exchanges can last long. Although China and the United States differ in terms of culture and political systems, as long as we open up our hearts to each other, respect each other, and seek common ground while putting aside differences, we can bridge any gap and usher in a more promising future for our bilateral ties.

我们期待与美方一起，推动人文交流与政治互信和经贸合作相互交织、相互促进，成为促进人民相知相识的“探路者”、深化两国各领域合作的“铺路者”、构建中美新型大国关系的“护路者”，为两国人民的美好生活与世界和平发展作出新的更大贡献! China is looking forward to working with the United States to promote people-to-people exchanges, enhance mutual political trust, and deepen economic cooperation and trade. Progress in these fields will be inter-related and mutually reinforcing. Let us do more to build a new type of major-country relationship, so as to make the life of our peoples more beautiful and the world at large more peaceful and prosperous.
