| Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama's key national security aide hinted at tensions that divide their countries on Friday ahead of a state visit to Washington by Xi.
Meeting in Beijing with US national security adviser Susan Rice, Xi said that he looks forward to continuing a dialogue with Obama next month and working to ensure that China-US relations keep expanding.
"China attaches great importance to the growth of the China-US relationship," Xi said.
"We stand ready to further promote our practical cooperation, effectively manage the sensitive issues between us and strengthen the friendship between the people of both countries."
Rice responded that Xi's visit to the US will provide a "great opportunity" for the two countries "to strengthen and deepen our relationship" as they seek ways to benefit their peoples as well as the world.
"At the same time, we obviously have issues of difference and some difficulty that we need to work through and we will continue to do so," she said.
Xi's visit to the US comes as the countries have shown a willingness to cooperate on global matters ranging securing a nuclear deal with Iran to climate change.
But they have also clashed over issues including what Washington and some regional countries see as China's increasing assertiveness in Asia as well as its territorial disputes with countries close to the US such as the Philippines and Japan.
