China, Central Africa Pledge Closer Military Relations

Senior military official Guo Boxiong met on Tuesday with Jean-Francis Bozize, defense minister of the Central African Republic (CAR), to discuss the expansion of military ties.

Bilateral relations have recovered rapidly and seen comprehensive development since the two countries resumed diplomatic ties in 1998, said Guo, who is vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.

China appreciates the CAR's adherence to the one-China policy and support for China on issues concerning the country's core interests, Guo said.
