In addition, at their Summit meeting last October, President Jiang and President Clinton agreed to launch a new initiative to cooperate in the field of law. This initiative is in both countries' interest and I know that the legal communities of both are enthusiastic about it. An important part of this initiative is to encourage exchanges and other forms of cooperation among judges in our two nations. I hope that your institution will be a partner in these activities. As you know, under the leadership of our two Presidents, the United States and China are beginning to work together in many different areas.
None is more important than our cooperation in the field of law.
I encourage each of you in your studies and in your legal careers. And I hope that our two countries will continue to come closer together as we work with each other on matters related to the rule of law. I thank you very much. I thank you, Professor, for letting me interrupt your class. I'm sure you are not happy, but maybe they are.
