Rumsfeld to make first China visit next month
By US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld will visit China next month, Admiral William J. Fallon, commander of US Pacific Command, said in Beijing yesterday.
Fallon is visiting China 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 China's Guangdong Province. Rumsfeld's visit is expected to add momentum to the increased diplomatic exchanges between China 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.
