US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao have assured to join hands to ensure that the relation between the two nations is reinforced.
The two Presidents, who met during the UN climate change summit at Waldorf Astoria hotel, mentioned that they need to work together to combat climate change. Despite the fact that they are two of the largest economies of the world, they are the largest carbon dioxide emitters, thereby the leading triggers for climate changes.
Obama, who is slated to pay a visit to China in November, mentioned that he has devoted himself for the pursuit of a "genuinely cooperative and comprehensive relationship with China".
"We need to make our relationship more dynamic and effective, given the strong number of common global and regional challenges that our countries face," Obama said.
According to Hu, the sturdy US-Chinese relation, in addition to serving the “fundamental interest" of the nations, will, also be contributing to the stability, prosperity and peace of Asia Pacific regions as well as other parts of the world.
"The Chinese side is willing to work with the US to keep our bilateral relationship firmly along the right course and deepen our pragmatic cooperation in a wide range of areas," Hu said.
"The Chinese side is also willing to work with the US to properly handle sensitive issues to ensure that our relationship will continue to grow on a sound and steady course," he said.
This is the first time that both these Presidents are talking at the UN.
