中国新任驻美国大使秦刚28日抵达美国履新。他在华盛顿表示，中美关系的大门已经打开，就不会关上，这是时代潮流，大势所趋，民心所向。秦刚是接替崔天凯担任中国驻美大使的。

Qin Gang, the new Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the U.S. has arrived to assume the office. Qin Gang on Wednesday said he believes "the door of China-U.S. relations, which is already open, cannot be closed." "This is the trend of the world, the call of the times, and the will of the people," said Qin in his remarks to Chinese and U.S. media upon arrival in the United States. His predecessor, Ambassador Cui Tiankai, completed his tenure and returned to China on June 23.
