PRINT DISCUSSION CHINESE SEND TO FRIEND


British Prime Minister Tony Blair's planned China tour will be postponed, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao Tuesday.

The decision was made by the British government after consultation with the Chinese side, Liu told a regular press conference.

China understands such a decision and welcomes Blair to visit China at appropriate time, Liu added.

Preparation for US Vice-President Richard Cheney's China visit is still under way, said Liu Jianchao.

Liu told a regular press conference that when Hu Jintao visited the United States as Chinese Vice-President last year, he invited Vice-President Cheney to visit China. "The two sides are now having discussions and consultations preparing for Cheney's visit to China," Liu said.
