QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Meets with President Hu Jintao of the People's Republic of China
InterContinental Sydney
Sydney, Australia
PRESIDENT BUSH: The President and I just concluded a very constructive meeting. It was constructive because, one, we had a lot to talk about, a lot of interests that we want to work together on, and also because he's an easy man to talk to. I'm very comfortable in my discussions with President Hu.
We talked about Iran and North Korea and Sudan. We talked about climate change and our desire to work together on climate change. We talked about our economic relations and our trade. And the President was quite articulate about product safety, and I appreciated his comments. We also talked about currency and exchange rates. And finally, I had a chance to share once again with the President my belief in religious freedom and religious liberty.
It was a constructive and cordial conversation. And once again he extended an invitation to me and Laura and our family to come to the Olympics. And of course, I was anxious to accept
