Leading scholars from China and the United States are stressing the importance of seizing the opportunity to improve bilateral ties ushered in by the summit between the two countries earlier this month.
At the China-US High-Level Think Tank Dialogue in Beijing on Wednesday, the attending scholars called for expanding education exchanges, boosting genuine knowledge of one another and keeping areas of collaboration such as climate in focus.
Earlier this month in Beijing, the two heads of state agreed on the vision to build a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability.
Kathryn Logan, director of China Climate Hub and Climate Diplomacy at the Asia Society's Policy Institute, pointed to addressing climate change and clean technologies when discussing how to help the new phase of constructive strategic stability to last long.
"Climate was once viewed as a stabilizing pillar of the relationship, with cooperation between the US and China paving the way for the Paris Agreement being adopted in 2015," she said.
