5/23/2007 Washington, D.C.--
Administrator Stephen L. Johnson and other members of the president's cabinet
joined their Chinese government counterparts to discuss priority initiatives for
energy and environmental cooperation. The discussions took place as part of the
U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) talks being held this week.
"Pollution knows no geographic or political borders. But by working together at
the SED, we are moving America and China toward a cleaner, healthier, more
productive future," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "Through our
continued dialogue and targeted initiatives, EPA and our international neighbors
are writing the next chapter in our
countries' ongoing book of environmental collaborations."
Through the SED process, the U.S. hopes to share with China experience in
formulating and implementing policies and initiatives that protect the
environment while promoting economic growth.
