PHNOM PENH, July 12 (Reuters) – Rival powers China and the
United States will work together in Asia and find common ground
to ensure proper handling of sensitive issues, U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday.
“I want to stress the importance of U.S.-China cooperation
in regional institutions,” Clinton told reporters ahead of a
meeting with Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi on the sidelines of
a regional forum in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
“I am delighted that we are going to be issuing a joint
media note … It is an important signal that the United States
and China not only can but will work together in Asia.”
