Anything that helps reduce trade tensions and uncertainty is good for the two large economies and the global economy as well, Kozack added.

　　Bruce McLaughlin, CEO of Sinogie Consulting Group, Australia, noted that given the current international environment, global stability will increasingly depend on open, stable and rules-based trade and investment arrangements.

　　As the world"s two major economies, China-U.S. relations affect not only bilateral trade and economic exchanges, but also global market confidence and the stability of industrial and supply chains in the Asia-Pacific region, he said.

　　In this sense, McLaughlin added, this summit could provide a valuable window for countries and businesses to strengthen economic cooperation and improve supply-chain networks.

　　At a time when global markets have been rattled by conflict, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical rivalry, such an encounter between the leaders of the world"s two largest economies helps stabilize expectations, said Joseph Ngwawi, executive director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Centre.

　　Ismael Buchanan, a senior lecturer at the College of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Rwanda, believes that the meeting sent a strong and reassuring signal that the world"s two largest economies remain committed to dialogue, engagement, and practical cooperation despite existing differences.

　　When both countries emphasize cooperation and constructive engagement, it sends a reassuring message to investors and developing economies that global economic fragmentation can be avoided, he said.
