　　Ladies and gentlemen, just now I ‘ve held official talks with President Cliton. The two sides have held an extensive and in-depth exchange of views on China-U.S. relations and the major international and regional issues. The talks were positive, constructive, and productive. The successful exchange of visits between the two heads of states of China and the United States marks a new stage of growth of China-U.S. relations. This not only serves the common interests of China and the United States, but also will be of important significance to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia Pacific and the world at large.

　　和平与发展是当今时代的主题，在新的历史条件下，中美两国的共同利益不是减少了，而是加强了。两国合作的基础不是削弱了，而是加强了。

　　Peace and development are the main theme of contemporary times. In the new historical conditions, the common interests of China and the United States are increasing, not decreasing. The foundation for cooperation between the two countries is reinforcing, not weakening.

　　双方都认为，中美两国作为联合国安理会常任理事国应该继续共同努力，促进世界和亚太地区的和平与安全，缓和和消除各种紧张局势，防止大规模杀伤性武器的扩散，加强保护环境，打击国际犯罪、毒品走私和国际恐怖活动。我们双方都统一进一步加强两国在重大国际问题上的对话和合作。中美关系正在改善和发展，双方在许多领域理的合作取得了重要的进展。我和克林顿总统决定，中美不把各自控制下的战略核武器瞄准对方，这向全世界表明，中美两国是合作伙伴，而不是对手。我再次重申，中国从拥有核武器起，就承诺在任何情况下，都不首先使用核武器。
