Consultation is underway between China and the United States for Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Thursday.

The two sides also maintain communication on US Vice President Dick Cheney's visit to China, Kong said at a press conference.

"The Chinese side welcomes and is waiting for Vice President Cheney's visit to China at his convenience," he said.

Cheney's China tour was originally arranged for the first half of this year but was delayed for some reason.

Kong said Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, in his recent visit to the United States, reached a consensus with US President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell that Sino-US ties enjoys a good growth momentum, and the two sides should make more efforts to expand consensus and increase understanding and trust so as to promote cooperation between the two countries.

According to Kong, Li reiterated to the US leaders that China hoped the United States would properly and seriously handle the Taiwan issue, the most sensitive and important issue on Sino-US relations that China concerns most.

China also hoped the United States would honor the three Sino-US joint communiques and the commitments made by the US to adhere to the one-China policy and oppose Taiwan independence, he said.
