General Guo Boxiong, vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission (CMC), met U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at the Pentagon on Tuesday, and the two sides agreed to enhance mutual understanding and further cooperation.

At the talks, the two had an indepth exchange of views on the international and regional security situations, the relationships between the two countries and two armies as well as other issues of mutual concern.

General Guo said the purpose of his current visit to the United States was to implement the consensus reached by Chinese President Hu Jintao and his U.S. counterpart George W. Bush on increasing exchanges and cooperation between the two armed forces during Hu's visit to the United States in April.
