Inside China Today. January 1, 2001

HAVANA, Jan 1, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) President Fidel Castro met with a high-level military delegation from China which was concluding a four-day visit to Cuba, the daily Juventud Rebelde reported Sunday.

The meeting took place Saturday just before the delegation, which was led by Chinese People's Liberation Army commander Fu Quanyou, left the island.

During the visit, top Cuban and Chinese military officials signed a military cooperation agreement, though no details of the agreement were released.

The delegation also visited Cuban military units and air bases, where they watched exercises.

Upon arrival, China's military representative told the local news agency Prensa Latina the visit was aimed at building closer relations between the two nation's militaries.

"We support and help each other, because we have the same objective -- to build socialism," Fu said. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse)
