<p>US president Barack Obama and Chinese president Hu Jintao have vowed to co-operate more closely on critical issues ranging from increasing trade between the world&#8217;s two largest economies to fighting terrorism.</p>
<p>But they also stood fast on their differences, especially over human rights.</p>
<p>Mr Obama acknowledged that differences on rights were &#8220;an occasional source of tension between our two governments&#8221;.</p>
<p>He said at a joint news conference with Mr Hu at the White House: &#8220;We have some core views as Americans about the universality of certain rights: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Obama said he drove that home forcefully in his discussions with the Chinese leader, but &#8220;that doesn&#8217;t prevent us from co-operating in these other critical areas&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Hu said &#8220;a lot&#8221; still needed to be done to improve human rights in China.</p>
<p>He said China is a developing country with an enormous population facing challenges in economic and social developments and said human rights must be viewed under those circumstances.</p>
<p>But Mr Hu said China will continue efforts to &#8220;improve the lives of our people and promote democracy and rule of law&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Hu said both countries should &#8220;respect each other&#8217;s sovereignty, territorial integrity and development interests&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Obama said: &#8220;I absolutely believe China&#8217;s peaceful rise is good for the world, and it&#8217;s good for America.&#8221;</p>
