BEIJING, April 27 (UPI) -- Top military officials of China and Cuba, meeting in Beijing, pledged to develop further bilateral military ties.

"The years since China and Cuba forged diplomatic ties in 1960 have witnessed a stable development of bilateral relations and fruitful cooperation in various fields," Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie said Monday after meeting with Alvaro Lopez Miera, chief of the general staff of Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, Xinhua news agency reported.

The two countries' armed forces have maintained high-level visits and good communication, Liang said, citing cooperation in personnel training.

Lopez praised China's achievements in social and economic growth, adding his country is willing to learn from China's experience.
