Chinese Minister of National Defense Cao Gangchuan held talks in Beijing Wednesday with Minister of Defense of Norway Kristin Krohn Devold.  

Cao, also vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and a state councilor, said the armed forces of China values the relationship with their Norwegian counterpart.

 

He said, friendly exchanges between the armed forces of the two sides are frequent in recent years, hoping they can learn from each other for further development of their friendly relations.
