Even before the September 11 attacks, China and other members of the SCO had signed the Shanghai Convention on Combating Terrorism, Separatism and Extremism and are now stepping up efforts to set up a regional anti-terrorism agency,
ready to make concerted efforts with the U.S. to make this happen.
I believe that through the joint efforts of China and the U.S., my visit will deepen our mutual understanding, broaden our common ground and promote friendship and cooperation between our two countries, and that China-U.S. relations will enter a new stage of development,
China will continue to make its efforts in upholding peace and stability in the world,
China stands ready to make unremitting efforts to facilitate this process for further progress and positive results,
the Chinese people have enjoyed a much better life, and it has intensified efforts to improve democracy and the legal system.
