US president George W. Bush will meet with Chinese leaders during his upcoming visit to China, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan Thursday in Beijing.

Kong said Bush will hold talks with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao and meet with Premier Wen Jiabao, respectively.

It is the fifth meeting between Hu and Bush, Kong noted, adding that the two sides are expected to exchange views and reach a consensus on bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues of common concern.

It is believed that Chinese and US leaders will make joint efforts to push forward a constructive relationship.

Bush is scheduled to visit China from November 19 to 21 after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
