Defense Minister Cao Gangchuan met a senior defense officer from
Mongolia on Monday.
"China values its ties with Mongolia and would like to lift the
relationship to a new high," Cao told M. Borbaatar, visiting state
secretary of Mongolian Defense Ministry.
Borbaatar said the two armed forces have conducted fruitful
exchange of visits and cooperation in personnel training.
He expressed the hope that the two sides could expand relations
in the fields of defense, international peace-keeping, regional
cooperation and anti-terrorism.
Borbaatar and his party were in Beijing for the second
Sino-Mongolian defense affairs consultation. Besides the Chinese
capital, they will also visit China's southernmost province Hainan
during the five-day stay.
