Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi left on Monday, heading for
Washington to attend the second round of the China-US Strategic
Economic Dialogue on May 22 and 23 as special envoy of Chinese
President Hu Jintao.
Wu and US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will co-chair the
dialogue.

dialogue last December. The dialogue mechanism has already become
an important platform for the two nations to discuss long-term
strategic and economic issues.
