Hu spoke highly of the progress in bilateral cooperation in the last few years, saying Sino-US relations would advance in a healthy and stable manner so long as the two sides observe the principles enshrined in the three Sino-US joint communiques.

Hu said China appreciated the US commitments to one-China policy and the three Sino-US joint communiques and its opposition to "Taiwan independence".

The two heads of state pledged to further promote bilateral ties and said they were expecting to meet again during the upcoming 12th economic leaders' meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the sources said.
