Hu’s visit opens new doors to boost American-Chinese ties

Both parties tackle important issues
CHINESE President Hu Jintao met his American counterpart, Barack Obama, when he visited the US recently. During the meeting, both leaders reached an agreement to strengthen ties between the two nations based on mutual respect and benefit. This visit has opened new doors for the American-Chinese relations to prosper, considering both parties had looked into a number of important issues like the dispute between North and South Korea, Iran’s nuclear project, situation in Tibet, currency wars, human rights in China and many other global challenges.The visit also signaled the closure of the cold war chapter between the East and the West, while providing opportunities for working together and building mutual trust, away from the unrest brought about by loss of trust and mounting uncertainty.The two nations’ intention to embark on projects with an estimated total cost of $45 billion is a huge step towards building new strategic relationships, bridging gaps and creating a new structure of economic cooperation. This ushers in a new era of construction, stability and development between the two nations and the world, instead of harming each other.Moreover, the meeting has not only focused on issues concerning the US and China but also the international security concerns. These two countries are not ordinary members of the United Nations (UN); they are responsible and major players in the Security Council, which must put world peace and security on top of its priority list, especially this time when the international community is gearing towards a new world order — multi-polarity.Email: labeed.abdal@gmail.com
