Xinhua, May 12, 2016 Adjust font size:

China and the United States have held their first dialogue here on outer space safety.

During the dialogue on Tuesday the two sides exchanged views on issues such as outer space policy, bilateral cooperation on space safety and multilateral space initiatives.

The two sides agreed to hold the next dialogue before the end of the year.

The discussion was co-hosted by Wang Qun, director-general of the Department of Arms Control at China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Frank Rose.
