Chicago, Mar 9 (Xinhua/UNI) Chinese Consul-General in Chicago Zhao Jian said Friday that friendly exchanges and practical cooperation between the US Midwestern states and China are entering a new period.
At a reception held here to mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Zhao said "Chicago and the American Midwest not only play a vital role in US political, economic, financial, and cultural affairs, they also play an exceedingly critical role in the advancement of amiable exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States."
China has for many years remained one of the top trade partners for US Midwestern states, as well as an important source of investment.
As China and the United States are the world's two largest economies, the cooperation potential between China and the US Midwest is as vast as ever, Zhao said.
The past four decades of China-US relations have proven that cooperation is the best choice for the two countries, said Zhao.
