China is actively considering the invitation by the United States to watch a military exercise at Guam, said a Foreign Ministry spokesman on Tuesday.

During a visit in China, Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command William Fallon officially invited the Chinese side to view a U.S. military exercise.

Liu Jianchao said China welcomes the efforts by the U.S. side to promote mutual understanding between the two countries and relations between the two armed forces.

He noted that the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has invited the U.S. side many times to view and emulate military exercises held within the boundaries of China.

Liu said the armed forces of China and the United States need to make joint efforts in enhancing mutual trust, clearing each other's doubts and strengthening cooperation.
