US climate envoy John Kerry told senior Chinese officials on Tuesday that Beijing and Washington could use cooperation on climate change to redefine their difficult relationship.
Kerry, who is on a three-day visit to China, said both countries — the world’s top two greenhouse gas emitters — could together show global leadership in tackling global warming.
“Our hope is now that this can be the beginning of a new definition of cooperation and capacity to resolve the differences between us,” Kerry told Wang Yi, the Communist Party’s head of foreign relations, in a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
