The visit to China by Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US armed forces, will play a positive role in promoting bilateral military relations, said Kong Quan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. on Thursday.

Myers arrived here Tuesday for a good-will and official visit, and, during his stay in Beijing, he met with Jiang Zemin, chairmanof the Central Military Commission, and other military leaders.

Kong said Myers and Chinese officials discussed three topics:

-- The formation of constructive China-US relations. China and the United States have differences, but they are outweighed by common interests. The development of China-US constructive and cooperative relations benefits both countries, and is conducive toworld peace and stability.

-- The military relationship, which is an important component of the state relationship. The two sides agreed to promote contacts and mutual understanding in military relations.

-- The Taiwan issue, which is the most important and sensitive issue in China-US relations. The Chinese government adheres to theprinciples of "peaceful reunification", and "one country and two systems", and would like to make all efforts to achieve peaceful reunification, but it will not allow Taiwan's independence.
