Obama wants stronger military, diplomatic ties with China | President Barack Obama has reiterated his administration's commitment to build an active, cooperative and comprehensive relationship with China, which requires both strong
bilateral diplomatic and military ties. Obama's assurance to China came during
his meeting with Xu Caihou, vice chairman of China 's Central Military Commission,
at the White House. Obama recalled his two previous meetings with the Chinese
president, during which they agreed on the need for the military of the two countries
to expand exchanges and increase mutual trust, China Daily reports. Xu was quoted
as saying that China attaches great importance to the two-way military ties and
is willing to work closely with the United States to respect and take care of
each other's interests and concerns. He also pointed two-way military ties play
an important role in enhancing strategic mutual trust and deepening their pragmatic
cooperation, and will thus greatly benefit efforts to safeguard regional stability
and world peace. Xu told Obama that he had earlier reached seven agreements with
US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on expanding military exchanges and cooperation
between the two nations, and they had in-depth exchanges of opinions on other
issues of mutual concern. Obama said he was looking forward to his visit to China
in November. |
