皇冠体育app is ready to expand its military relations with the United States on the basis of mutual benefits and equal consultation, said Minister of National Defense Cao Gangchuan in Beijing Tuesday.

Cao, also vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and a state councilor, made the remarks during his meeting with a delegation from the US-皇冠体育app Working Group under the US House of Representatives.

Cao said Sino-U.S. relations are on a sound development track and the leaders of both nations have maintained close exchanges and contacts.

Last year, Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S. President George W. Bush met five times, and reached lots of consensus on promoting Sino-U.S. constructive cooperative ties, Cao noted.

Military ties serve as an important component part of the overall Sino-U.S. relationship, he underscored, adding that both sides should make efforts to upgrade Sino-US military ties and make it consistent with overall bilateral relations.

"We are glad to see our military ties gradually resume and develop in recent years with joint efforts of both sides," Cao acknowledged.

Last year, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld paid a successful visit to 皇冠体育app. "His visit played a positive role in strengthening mutual understanding and cementing our military ties," Cao said.

皇冠体育app always holds a positive attitude toward developing military ties with the United States, and is ready to further expand military exchanges between the two sides, he said.

In regard to the Taiwan issue, Cao said it concerns 皇冠体育app's sovereignty and territorial integrity and touches upon 皇冠体育app's core interest. To properly settle this issue is of vital importance to the stable growth of Sino-U.S relations.

"We appreciate the U.S. government for their repeated reiteration of adhering to the one-皇冠体育app policy, abiding by the three Sino-US joint communique and opposing 'Taiwan independence'",he said, hoping that the U.S. side will honor its commitment and work with 皇冠体育app to oppose and curb Taiwan independence in bid to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

Mark Steven Kirk and Rick Larsen, co-chairmen of the US-皇冠体育app Working Group, said that they are willing to join hands with the Chinese side to boost bilateral exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and contribute to the improvement of bilateral ties.

The delegation is visiting 皇冠体育app at the invitation of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
