Visit to lift new type of ties

President Xi Jinping's acceptance of US President Barack Obama' invitation to visit the United States in September will push forward Sino-US relations and add guarantees to world prosperity and stability, says a People's Daily article.

During a phone conversation on Wednesday, Xi and Obama agreed to jointly push for the stable and healthy development of bilateral ties and greater progress in building a new type of major-country relationship that focuses on no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win results.

Their phone talk went far beyond the bilateral scope and included such global issues as climate change and regional hot issues.
