(AP) President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao offered each other diplomatic assurances Tuesday at a testy time in their nations' complex relationship.
Obama said he was looking forward to visiting China in November, a trip that has long been expected as part of Obama's trip to Asia to attend a forum of Asia-Pacific leaders in Singapore.
"I'm committed to pursuing a genuinely cooperative and comprehensive relationship with China," Obama said, seated across a long table from his Chinese counterpart. "We need to make our relationship more dynamic and effective."
For his part, Hu said: "The Chinese side is willing to work with the United States to keep our bilateral relationship firmly along the right course." He said that included finding a way to "properly handle sensitive issues."
