China wants to make concerted efforts with Canada
to promote relations between their armed forces, said Liang
Guanglie, chief of general staff of the People's Liberation
Army in Beijing on Monday.
Liang, also member of the Central Military
Commission, made the remarks as he held talks with Canada's Chief
of Defense Staff Ray Henault.
He said relations between the armed forces of China
and Canada have maintained good momentum in recent years, with
frequent high-level visits and active cooperation in such fields as
peacekeeping, logistics, college education and winter training.
Liang reaffirmed China's stand on the Taiwan
issue.
Henault spoke positively of China's role played in
maintaining regional stability, hoping to enhance cooperation and
increase mutual understanding. He also said that Canada will
maintain a one-China policy.
