The existence of problems in individual countries shouldnot pose obstacles for developing bilateral relations.

(3)问:China and the Unitcd States reached an understanding on protecting IPR, and there are indications that the heads of the two countries may regularly meet with each other, what's your comment on prospects for Sino-US relations? Is there a possibility that the heads of the two states will visit each other?答：6月17日，中美双方就知识产权问题已达成协议。这说明只要双方互相尊重、进行平等协商，他们能够缩小或解决分歧。我们相信，只要两国从总体利益出发、坚持三个联合公报、不于涉别国内政、求同存异，中美关系就能够健康、稳定地发展。

我们已经注意到美国领导人最近的一些讲话就关于双边关系问题所表示的积极态度的迹象。中国希望同美国保持正常良好的关系，并为此作出了应有的努力。我们也希望美国能同中国一起，抓住良机，促进双边关系的持续改善与发展。我们也相信，两国领导人之间的联系与交往对加深彼此了解和发展双边关系是十分重要的。我们已经准备好与美国方面共同努力来实现这种联系与交往。

参考译文：On June 17,China and the United States reached agreement on IPR. This proves that so long as the two sides respect each other and conduct discussions on an equal footing,they can narrow or resolve their differences. We believe that as long as the two countries proceed from the overall interests and adhere to the three joint communiques by not interfering in each other's internal affairs and seeking common grounds while preserving differences, Sino-US relations can develop healthily and steadily.

We have taken note of the fact that in their recent speeches, US leaders showed positive signs concerning bilateral relations. China hopes to maintain nor

mal and sound relations with the United States and has made due efforts toward this. We also hope the United States can join China in seizing the opportu

nity to promote continued improvement and development of bilateral relations.

We also believe that direct contacts and exchanges between leaders of our two countries are significant for deepening mutual understanding and developing bilateral relations. We are ready to make joint efforts with the US side to realize these contacts and exchanges.
