Geithner: U.S., China steer to more sustainable path

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Tuesday the biggest accomplishment of bilateral talks with China was to point the two countries on a path toward more sustainable economic growth,

"The most important thing that we accomplished today, apart from reinforcing our basic commitment to build the kind of strategic mutual trust that any good relationship depends on, is (for) these two countries to set out a path for a more balanced, more sustainable recovery," Geithner said in a speech to a U.S-China business group.

"We want to be very careful, as we emerge from this crisis -- which we will -- that we do not sow the seeds for future crises, and we put our economies on a foundation that's going to provide a credible path to a more sustainable growth."
