The United States and China plan to actively examine the possibilities of expanding trade, cybersecurity, counterterror and military-to-military cooperation, Chinese President Xi Jinping said during a meeting with President Obama in Washington, DC on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The meeting between Xi and Obama took place on the sidelines of the fourth Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, which is attended by more than 50 foreign leaders.

"We will also actively explore possibilities of deepening cooperation in wide areas, from economy and trade, to mil[itary]-to-mil[itary] ties and people-to-people exchange, from counterterrorism to law enforcement and cybersecurity," Xi stated.

The Chinese president noted that he and Obama also seek to "enhance communication and coordination" on the North Korean nuclear issue in addition to other regional and global issues in order to "consolidate and expand our shared interests."
