EFFICIENT MECHANISM FOR AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION

Han said the sustainable development of China-U.S. agricultural cooperation has benefited from sound and efficient cooperative mechanisms such as the China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the China-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade and the China-U.S. Joint Commission on Agriculture.

These have established a platform for agricultural cooperation and have given full play to the guiding role of both governments, he said.

Under the sound cooperative mechanisms, the two agricultural ministries have maintained regular contact.

In 2011, the two sides held the fourth meeting of the China-U.S. Joint Commission on Agriculture, which further enhanced its status as the main channel for bilateral agricultural cooperation and tightened guidance to the two working groups on agricultural sciences and biotechnology, he said.

In recent years, the two ministries have also enhanced their cooperation in agricultural policies, market information, research and development of agricultural sciences and technology, sustainable development and global food security, said Han.
