Since the recovery of the (global) economy is still mired in (uncertainty), the first China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue that opens in Washington today is (expected) to focus on imminent challenges facing the world.
By including a wide range of (bilateral), regional and global issues in the high-level talks, the two countries have demonstrated the much-needed farsightedness on the (joint) front to help shape a strong global strategy and lay the (foundation) for lasting and balanced growth after the worst economic crisis in many decades is over.
The message is clear: As the world's (fastest) growing and biggest economies, China and the US will do their best to maintain close communication and (collaboration) on global issues, properly handle disputes and sensitive matters, and (consolidate) bilateral ties. The willingness of the two countries to deepen and widen cooperation and (mutual) trust is important because it would help the world (emerge) out the economic crisis, and ensure a smooth progress of the post-crisis period.
China and the US both have (responded) with decisive monetary and fiscal policies to fight the crisis. Though China is showing strong signs of recovery and "spring shoots" (seem) to be sprouting in the US economy, global recovery is still (far) from certain. Therefore, the depth and extent of their cooperation to boost bilateral trade and economic ties and oppose protectionism will largely determine how fast the world steps out of (recession).
More importantly, the close cooperation between the two countries could (yield) a solution to long-term challenges such as (climate) change.
Building Sino-US ties into one of the most (vigorous) and influential bilateral relations will benefit not only peoples of the two countries, but also help the development of the rest of the (globe) and further world peace. To achieve that, the two countries have to (launch) joint efforts to reform the global financial system and put the world economy on the (track) to sustainable development.
The two-day dialogue is just a stepping-stone to building a (positive), cooperative and comprehensive bilateral relationship. And the (fruition) of such a relationship can only push global development forward and boost the world's (confidence) in a healthy post-crisis era.
