SEOUL - Chinese President Hu Jintao said here Thursday that China is willing to strengthen the dialogue, exchanges and cooperation with the United States so as to further promote their positive, cooperative and comprehensive relations.

Hu made the remarks when meeting his US counterpart Barack Obama on the sidelines of the fifth Group of 20 (G20) summit, which is slated for Thursday and Friday.

China believes that good Sino-US ties are not only in the interests of the two countries and two peoples, but also conform to the world peace, stability and development, he said.

During the meeting, Obama said he and Hu have met several times already.

"China-US relations have become stronger over the last few years. We discussed a whole range of issues, not only bilaterally, but world issues," he said.

"As two leading nuclear powers, obviously we get special obligations to deal with issues of nuclear proliferation."

Obama also said as two big economies in the world, "we have special obligation to deal with ensuring strong, balanced and sustainable growth."
