Specifically, the two navies successfully organized consultations and jointly pushed forward the signing of the China-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding on the Code of Safe Conduct on Naval and Air Military Encounters, a concrete action in implementing the consensus reached by presidents of the two countries, said Adm. Wu.
Next, the Chinese Navy will send a delegation of frontline commanding officers to visit the U.S. and in the future, exchange activities between frontline troops of the two navies will gradually be institutionalized, he added.
During the meeting, Adm. Wu also responded to questions related to construction and development of the Chinese Navy raised by the U.S. delegation.
In accordance with the annual plan of exchange between Chinese and U.S. navies, the delegation of U.S. Navy captains started its China visit on Oct. 18.
The 27 U.S. Navy captains have visited the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, the PLA Navy Submarine Academy and the PLA Navy Command Academy.
In February this year, the PLA Navy sent a delegation consisting of 29 young captains to visit the U.S. and Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, the then chief of U.S. Naval Operations, met with the delegation.
