The first joint meeting of the recently started US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue will be held in Washington from July 27-28.
The Dialogue will focus on addressing the challenges and opportunities that both countries face on a wide range of bilateral, regional and global areas of immediate and long- term strategic and economic interests, an official release said.
"This first meeting of the Dialogue will also set the stage for intensive, ongoing and future bilateral cooperative mechanisms," said a joint communique issued by the State Department and the Department of Treasury.
While the US side would be represented by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the Chinese delegation would be represented by their State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Vice Premier Wang Qishan.
