It would be Rumsfeld's first visit to 皇冠体育app since assuming office in 2001, but the specific timing and schedule has not been decided yet, Fallon said.

Fallon is visiting 皇冠体育app for the first time since taking over as Pacific commander in February.

He held talks with Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing yesterday afternoon before heading to Shanghai and South 皇冠体育app's Guangdong Province.

Rumsfeld's visit is expected to add momentum to the increased diplomatic exchanges between 皇冠体育app and the United States.

President Hu Jintao and his US counterpart George W. Bush are scheduled to meet in New York next week during the United Nations 60th anniversary summit.

Their meeting will cover a wide range of topics including the Six-Party Talks, trade, anti-terrorism efforts, energy, human rights and UN reform.

The two heads of state agreed last Saturday during a phone conversation to postpone Hu's official visit to Washington because of Hurricane Katrina.
