Chinese President Hu Jintao (L) shakes hands with U.S. President Barack Obama during their meeting in London, Britain, on April 1, 2009.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama agreed to work together to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship in the 21st century when they met here Wednesday.
This was the first meeting between the two heads of state since the new U.S. administration came into office in January.
China and the United States share more extensive common interests in tackling the financial crisis, striving to recover global economic growth, dealing with international and regional issues and safeguarding world peace and security, Hu said.
The two countries should also work together to tackle the complicated and thorny issues facing the humanity in the 21st century to achieve mutually beneficial cooperation and common development, he said.
Hu left Beijing Wednesday morning for the G20 financial summit in London with a call for overhauling the international financial system, stabilizing the global financial market and preventing trade protectionism.
Just ahead of his departure, the president said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua that "the international financial system should undergo necessary reforms in an all-round, balanced, gradual and effective manner to prevent a similar (financial) crisis in the future."
