China's top energy think tank is urging delegates at the first China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue, which started yesterday in Washington, to adopt its initiatives and put them into action.

Han Wenke, co-chair of the China-US Clean Energy Forum, told China Daily that the governments of both countries should listen to the private sector and create favorable conditions for clean energy cooperation between the two countries.

The China-US Clean Energy Forum is a private-sector vehicle that promotes bilateral cooperation on clean energy.
