BEIJING - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for the fourth round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED).
Clinton and Geithner, as special representatives of US President Barack Obama, will join Vice-Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo, the special representatives of President Hu Jintao, to co-chair the annual dialogue from Thursday to Friday.
Officials said the chiefs of more than 20 government agencies on both sides will attend the gathering.
