US Commerce Secretary Donald Evans on Tuesday pledged to strengthen US-China economic ties, saying that he believes the two countries will continue to work toward the direction.
"I don't think we're enemies at all," said Evans in an interview Tuesday night with CNBC, a leading US business TV channel.
"We're going to continue to build a strong economic relationship between China and the United States of America," he said.
Evans also discussed issues concerning the intellectual property right and he called for more cooperation and work to be done in this area.
As China's economy has been growing rapidly, the US-China trading relationship has been a subject of wide interests.
In another speech made recently, Evans said:"we see the US-China trading relationship as key to our national interests and critical to the global economy."
"It is destined to become even more important because, in contrast to most other countries, our economies are growing rapidly," he added.
