Beijing - The US envoy in China for discussions on President Bush's missile defence plans said yesterday while the talks were constructive, there were clearly differences of opinion, reports Miriam Donohoe.
In a statement before he left China, the Assistant Secretary of State, Mr James Kelly, implied there was no meeting of minds on the issue between both sides. "Although we clearly still have differences of opinion, our consultations on this subject was constructive and constitute a good beginning to what both sides agreed would be a continuing dialogue on these important security issues," he said.
