The first Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue was held on July 27 and 28, 2009 in Wash- ington. Either before or during the dialogue, PRC and USA attached great importance to it. The former Strategic Dialogue and the biannual Strategic Economic Dialogue were initiated by the two heads of state in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The dialogue mechanism, upgraded from by ministers from both governments to a strategic and economic dialogue between governmental cabinets, will be held once a year in the future. From the US side, Obama administration shows great interests in the dialogue and places great importance on Sino-US relationship, which can be seen from the visits from US senior officials to China in 2009, including US Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of Energy.
