I am pleased to welcome President Hu back to the United States.
When the mission is complete, our troops will come home with the honor they have earned.
I view this visit as an opportunity to continue a dialog in dealing with a very important relationship for the United States and the world.
America will always be proud that we led the armies of liberation.
