STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY

President to Visit China

President Clinton will travel to China in late June and early July at the invitation of Chinese President Jiang Zemin. He will hold talks with President Jiang and other Senior Chinese officials during the visit. The President's visit reciprocates President Jiang's visit to the United States last October-November. The President looks to the visit as an opportunity to expand areas of cooperation in our improving relationship with China and to discuss frankly areas of difference.
