Nations sign pacts on climate change
China and the United States have reached agreement on a series of partnership projects, ranging from clean coal power generation technology to carbon capture and storage, on the eve of the sixth US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
The two countries' cooperation on issues related to energy, environment and climate change has become a prominent element of the S&ED talks, as well as a positive contributor to the new model of Sino-US relations, Xie Zhenhua, vice-minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the signing ceremony on Tuesday.
"These pragmatic cooperative projects between China and the US on tackling climate change send a positive signal not only to China and the US, but also to the rest of the world," Xie said.
