US Vice-President Richard Cheney will visit China in the first half of this year, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue announced Tuesday.
Zhang said Cheney accepted the invitation of Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao last year and would tour China during the first half of 2003.
High-level mutual exchanges between China and the United States were of vital importance to the development of bilateral relations, said Zhang.
