State Councilor Yang Jiechi said he hopes that China and the US could make efforts to expand cooperation in various fields and manage and control their differences in a constructive way.
He made the comment when meeting with visiting US National Security Advisor Susan Rice in Beijing on Monday.
Yang said, as one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world, the China-US ties have made progress in terms of practical cooperation in various fields, but it also faces a lot of challenges.
"To maintain the stable development of China-US bilateral ties is in line with the interests of both sides and this requires concerted efforts from both countries," he told Rice, who is visiting China from Sunday to Wednesday.
Yang said that he hoped China and the US could stick to the principles of no conflicts, no confrontation, mutual respects and cooperation for win-win results, and focus on their common interests to expand cooperation.
He also noted that both sides should manage and control differences in a constructive way in order to push forward the consistent and stable development of bilateral ties.
During the meeting, Yang emphasized Beijing's firm opposition on the arbitration case, saying that China will continue to steadfastly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
China strongly urges the US to seriously treat China's concern and not to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea, he said.
