Liang said that China will always advocate an active, sincere and practical attitude with friendliness³ in order to enhance talks between the two militaries. He added that they should cooperate in areas of mutual interest and manage disparities when conflicts appear.

Noting that the military ties are an important part of the state-to-state relations, Liang called for equality, mutual benefit and practical collaboration⁴ while developing a new type of relationship between the two militaries.

Mabus said the U.S. navy will continue to cooperate and exchange with the Chinese side in areas such as counter-piracy and joint⁵ drills.

He also expressed the U.S. commitment in developing cooperative partnerships⁶ with China.

The two senior officials also discussed maritime⁷ security.

It is the first time Mabus has visited China since taking office. During his four-day tour, he will also travel to east China's Ningbo City to visit a new Chinese frigate⁸ and conventional powered submarine.
