Xi Jinping emphasized that in the next step, the two sides should further strengthen political guidance, respect each other's core interests and major concerns, increase top-level design of and political input into bilateral relations, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges and expand common consensus. The two countries should boost cooperative partnership in such fields as sustainable growth, industrial optimization and upgrading, innovation-driven and green economy on the basis of existing cooperation in information and telecommunication, upper-end manufacturing, energy efficiency, environmental protection, new energy and other fields. Both sides should also strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges and set up platforms for exchanges between the youth.
