International Understanding, called for efforts from various
sectors of the two countries to thoroughly implement the important
consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and further
promote people-to-people exchanges and mutual learning between

their advantages to respond to global challenges, Liu said.

two countries will make active contributions to promoting bilateral
relations.
