China and the United States will hold their third round of strategic dialogue Wednesday, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu on Tuesday.

The dialogue will be co-chaired by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Nicholas Burns, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, said Jiang.

"The two sides will have in-depth exchange of views on current China-U.S. relations, and major international and regional issues of mutual concern," said Jiang.

Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo will also meet Burns, Jiang added.

Two rounds of China-U.S. strategic dialogues had been held in August and December last year.
