奥巴马与习近平通电话强调美中应加强合作

President Barack Obama says he wants U.S.-China relations to be defined by more cooperation and better handling of disagreements.

A White House statement says the pledge was made during a phone call Monday between Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The statement said the two leaders also discussed shared regional and global challenges, including Iran\'s and North Korea\'s nuclear programs.

Mr. Obama said Iran must show its nuclear program is "exclusively peaceful." He called for greater U.S.-China cooperation in the ongoing Geneva talks.

He also stressed the need for "enhanced communication and coordination" with China to ensure North Korea meets its denuclearization commitments.

The phone call follows annual talks last week between top U.S. and Chinese leaders in Beijing, where the White House said "important progress" was made.

白宫发表声明说，奥巴马总统星期一与中国国家主席习近平通电话时做出上述表示。

白宫的声明说，美中两国领导人还讨论了共同面对的地区和全球范围的挑战，包括伊朗和朝鲜的核项目问题。

奥巴马说，伊朗必须显示其核项目完全用于和平目的。他表示，美中两国应在日内瓦谈判过程中加强合作。

奥巴马还强调必须与中国加强沟通与协作，以确保朝鲜履行去核化承诺。

在奥巴马与习近平进行电话交谈之前，美中两国高层领导人在北京举行了会谈，白宫称会谈取得了“重要进展”。
