According to the Washington Post, Chinese President Hu Jintao proposed to President Bush in Chile last November that the two countries engage in what Chinese officials termed a "strategic dialogue."
据华盛顿邮报报道,中国国家主席胡锦涛去年十一月在智利向美国总统布什提议,中美双方进行“战略性对话”。

The two leaders spoke at a news conference where some reporters engaged them in a debate on press freedom. In one way or another, all the questions dealt with the democracy issue. But the talks did cover other matters, reflecting the need for the two countries to work together, despite their differences.
布什和普京在记者会上都讲了话。记者们向两位领导人提问,引起了他们对新闻自由的争论。记者们的问题或多或少都与民主有关。但是布什与普京的会谈还是涉及了其他一些问题,这反映出美俄两国尽管存在分歧,但仍需要合作。

The world is united in saying to the Iranians that it is not acceptable for them, under cover of a civilian nuclear program, to engage in activities that might allow them to build a military program," she added.
