China and the United States are discussing through diplomatic channels the date of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to the United States and related topics, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan at a regular press conference, Jan. 17.
The two countries have been keeping exchanges of high-level visits in recent years, said Kong.
During his China visit last year, President George W. Bush again invited President Hu to visit his country early this year.
