Obama affirmed the China-U.S. ministerial-level exchange mechanism's significant role in broadening the bilateral practical cooperation and handling regional and global challenges. Both sides agreed to continue to strengthen cooperation in combating climate change and developing clean energy, and to work together to promote the accomplishment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at the UN climate change conference to be held in Paris at the end of 2015.
