US, China vow to take relations forward

The Chinese and US ambassadors agreed on Tuesday that the establishment of the US-China relationship 45 years ago was the right move, and both countries intend to move the relationship forward despite the challenges in the past few years.

Close to 200 people gathered at the Carter Center in Atlanta to participate in a forum in honor of former US president Jimmy Carter and the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

More than 100 connected via video to the event in which five panel discussions explored the complicated relations, focusing on the history and current challenges in trade and business, technology, military, climate change and public health.
