U.S. Secretary of Defence Robert M. Gates said on Monday that the United States adheres to one-China policy and the three U.S.-China joint communiques.
Gates made the remarks in a meeting with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo, noting that the United States is willing to make joint efforts with China to build trust in strategic areas through dialogue and communication.
Bilateral relationship has enjoyed a sound momentum of development, Gates added.
Dai told Gates that China and the United States have broad and close relations, hoping the two countries enhance mutual understanding and trust and promote the all-round and in-depth development of China-U.S. constructive and cooperative ties through deepening bilateral exchanges in various fields including military exchanges.
Stressing of the danger of separatist activities aimed at "Taiwan Independence", Dai asked the United States to pay great attention to and appropriately deal with the Taiwan issue, take effective and concrete actions and make joint efforts with China to safeguard the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and safeguard the overall China-U.S. relations.
Dai and Gates also exchanged views on the Iran nuclear issue.
