In a meeting held on Tuesday, Guo Shengkun, State advisor and minister for Public Security of China, lauded the achievements made since the first dialogue in Washington last year.
He noted that cooperation in cyber security favors the interests of not only China and the United States, but also those of those countries.
For her part, Suzanne Spaulding, the undersecretary of the US Department of National Security, and Bruce Swartz, joint district attorney general and International Affairs advisor to the Department of Justice, attended the meeting on behalf of Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, respectively, who could not attend the meeting due to the recent massacre in Orlando, Florida.
The US officials noted that Washington and Beijing share many interests in cyber security and favored that the two countries can turn their differences into cooperation, and increase the exchange of information and collaboration in specific cases.
The two parties approved a plan to establish a direct line, and agreed to hold the third dialogue in Washington this year.
Meng Jianzhu, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and chairman of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Central Committee of the CPC, met with the US delegation.
