地方交流与合作是中美关系的重要组成部分。近年来，中美地方合作交流蓬勃发展，在经贸、人文等领域取得了丰硕成果，为两国民众带来了实实在在的好处。近年来，美国多位州长来中国访问，表达同中国继续扩大和深化各领域合作的愿望。两国地方交往越频繁、合作成果越丰富、人文交流越密切，就越有利于扩大双方共同利益，促进中美关系整体发展。 

　　我们希望中美双方共同努力，进一步巩固地方合作共识，发掘地方优势互补潜力，拓展双向贸易投资往来，让两国民众从中美地方交往中收获更多机遇和红利。

Subnational exchanges and cooperation is an important component of China-US ties. In recent years, subnational cooperation between the two countries have been thriving, delivering rich outcomes in the fields of economy, trade, culture and people-to-people exchanges and tangible benefits to the people of the two sides. Quite a few US governors have made trips to China to express their willingness to expand and deepen all-around cooperation with China. When subnational exchanges between the two sides get more frequent, bilateral cooperation more fruitful and people-to-people exchanges closer, the common interests shared by the two sides will be expanded and the overall development of the China-US relations be driven forward.

We hope that China and the US could work together to consolidate agreement on subnational cooperation, tap into the complementary subnational strength, and expand two-way trade and investment so that China-US subnational exchanges could bring more opportunities and dividends to the two peoples.
