(Xinhua Photo) BEIJING, May 25 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States held the second round of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) Monday in Beijing. The talks, which will discuss key issues including trade, investment, and global economic recovery, have received a lot of attention from international organizations and media around the world. The U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC) said in a statement Monday that the S&ED provided a forward-looking, high-level, cross-agency mechanism for dealing with key issues in the U.S.-China relationship. "Current tensions on the Korean Peninsula underscore the strategic value of the dialogue. At the same time, America's commercial relationship with China is critical to our nation's economic growth," USCBC President John Frisbie said in a statement. Frisbie said the United States and China need to cooperate more on issues such as regional security, energy and the environment, maintaining open trade and investment regimes, and coordinating economic recovery policies. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4about：
