Kissinger: Stronger China benefits world

As to the US-China relations, Kissinger said that fundamentally the relationship is good although it has complications that are caused in large part by the fact that the international situation is changing so rapidly.

"The fundamental problem is that the US is the most advanced developed country, China is the most rapidly advancing developing country," he said. "Countries with such different background sometimes don't come immediately to the same point of view."

"Therefore," he continued, "contact between our leaders is essential and should be even more regular than it has been."

Citing the six-party talks on the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula, Kissinger said China and the United States have cooperated closely on some international issues.

"There are issues like proliferation ... in which the two sides have very important contacts. Contributions of the Chinese side from the American point of view have been very constructive," he explained.

"Up to now, I have been in contact with eight American administrations. No matter how they started, they would conclude with close relations with China that are essential for the world peace, development and progress," he stressed.

Kissinger suggested that the internal debate in America on the US-China relations should be looked at in perspective.

"You can always find different arguments that are put forward by others but they are not the government and they are not decisive," he said. "But fundamentally the need for close relations between our two countries is recognized and supported by our top leaders."
