Talks useful, says Zoellick

BEIJING: The first strategic dialogue between the U.S. and China is useful, and the discussion is open and transparent, said U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick here on Tuesday. He told the press that the two sides had exchanged views on bilateral relations and international issues.

China enjoyed rapid development and increasing international influence, he said, noting that the U.S. and China had a broad common interest, and the two should reduce differences and strengthen cooperation. He hoped the two countries could maintain sound cooperation in international affairs and share common interest.

As to the six-party talks, Mr. Zoellick said it was a difficult process.
