President Xi Jinping of China is set to make a state visit to the United States later this year, his first since becoming the top leader of Asia’s biggest economy. 中国国家主席习近平将在今年晚些时候出访美国，这是他成为亚洲最大经济体首脑后对美国的首次国事访问。 No date has been set yet for the visit, Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassador to the United States, told reporters over the weekend, according to the official China Daily newspaper. 据官方媒体中国日报报道，中国驻美大使崔天凯在周末告诉记者，习近平访美的日期尚未确定。 Mr. Cui’s announcement came after Susan E. Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser, extended an invitation on Friday to Mr. Xi and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan to come to Washington for a state visit. Ms. Rice also invited President Park Geun-hye of South Korea and President Joko Widodo of Indonesia. 周五，美国总统奥巴马的国家安全事务助理苏珊·R·莱斯邀请习近平和日本首相安倍晋三前往华盛顿进行国事访问。她还邀请了韩国总统朴槿惠和印度尼西亚佐科·维多多。此后，崔天凯大使也发表了声明。 Summit meetings between the leaders of the United States and China, the world’s two biggest economies, are always major events, and there will be pressure on both sides to deliver something from this one. A meeting between Mr. Xi and Mr. Obama in Beijing in November yielded a major agreement on controlling greenhouse gases. |
