German Defense Minister Peter Struck discussed on June 6 with a top
Chinese defense official military cooperation between the two countries.
In talks with Chief of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army,
Liang Guanglie, Struck said the German side is willing to strengthen
exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese military, which are not only in
the interests of the two countries but also conducive to regional and
world peace and stability.
Liang said China and Germany share broad common interests on
important issues like safeguarding world peace and promoting common
development. Good relations have helped deepen mutual trust in political
and military fields, contributing to the strategic partnership of the two
countries, Liang said.
In a separate meeting with Liang on Monday, German Inspector General
of the Federal Defense Forces Wolfgang Schneiderhan exchanged views over
international and regional security issues and discussed military
cooperation between the two countries.
Liang and his delegation arrived in Berlin on Sunday for a four-day
official visit at the invitation of Schneiderhan.
