PLA, US military to work together

Top generals open communication channels, look to cooperate further

Top Chinese and US military officials agreed to further develop military relations and exchanges amid growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The two militaries also signed the framework to build a new communication mechanism for their joint staff departments. Since the department plays a crucial role in actual combat operations, experts said the new mechanism would strengthen effective communication, reduce miscalculations and improve risk management in Asia's increasingly complex geopolitical climate.
