US secretary of state to visit BJ on Saturday (2)

Liu Feitao, an expert on US studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said Kerry is keen for further communication with Beijing regarding the Korean Peninsula situation.

While the Korean Peninsula is said to be part of the discussion, experts say the meetings will mostly be to set the tone for a new phase of US-China relations following the Chinese leadership transition and the start of President Barack Obama's second term.

Kerry is also coming to promote strategies and tasks that have been nailed down during Obama's first presidential term, Liu said.

Douglas Paal, director of the Asia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington-based think-tank, said that "the most important deliverable for Kerry's visit" will not be the degree of cooperation on the DPRK's current behavior, "but setting a strategic tone for overall US-China relations".

Last week, in a phone call with Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi, who most recently served as the country's foreign minister, Kerry said the US values highly its relationship with China and hopes the two will strengthen dialogue and cooperation.

It's important for the two biggest economic powers to maintain high-level visits and other contact, Yang said, adding that bilateral relations are at a new stage with a good start.
