BEIJING, Oct.23 (ChinaMil) -- Admiral Wu Shengli, commander of the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), met with a delegation of U.S. Navy captains in Beijing on October 22.
Wu Shengli said that President Xi Jinping and President Obama have had a number of successful meetings since last year and have reached a series of consensuses on development of the new type of China-U.S. major country relationship and military relations between the two countries.
To implement the consensuses reached by leaders of both countries, the Chinese and American navies are working together to build a new type of relations between navies of major countries, Adm. Wu continued.
He stressed that young officers are the future of the navy and therefore shoulder grave responsibility in constructing and deepening the relations between navies of China and U.S.
In Adm. Wu's point of view, the current China-U.S. naval relations have entered the "golden age" in history, as evidenced by the approval of the "Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea", frequent high-level interactions, increasingly deepened joint exercises and training, fruitful consultation mechanisms, pragmatic exchange of ship visits and interactions between frontline troops, resulting in enhanced mutual trust and more effective communications.
