Urging both sides to respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, Xi expressed the hope that Washington takes seriously China's concern on Taiwan and Tibet to keep China-US ties away from unfavorable interference.

Reiterating that China's success is in line with the US interest, Obama said China-US ties have made historic progress in 2014.

The United States is willing to work with China to maintain the momentum, strengthening pragmatic cooperations with China in such fields as economy and trade, jointly addressing regional and global challenges and controlling their differences, Obama said.

He also expressed the hope that two countries will enhance communication and cooperation on climate change so as to secure positive outcome at a major climate summit in Paris in December.

Appreciating China's contributions to helping African countries fight the deadly Ebola apedemic, Obama said he hopes to join hands with China in promoting global health security.

Stressing that Washington attaches great importance to the development of bilateral as well as global economy, Obama said the US side is ready to increase coordination with China and accommodate each other's concern to work for a high-standard bilateral investment treaty and is ready to enhance dialogue and cooperation to lift global demand.

Meanwhile, the two leaders exchanged views on regional and international issues like the 70th anniversary of the victory over Fascism, cyber security, Iran's nuclear issue and the situation on the Korean Peninsula, promising to increase coordination and cooperation in order to help solve issues concerning global security and stability.
