WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. military has responded
positively to China's proposed plan to deploy naval ships in the Gulf of
Aden and the waters off the Somalia coast to fight pirates, a high-ranking
military officer said Thursday.

"I hope the Chinese do (send ships to the Gulf of Aden) and we'll work
closely with them," Timothy Keating, chief of the Pacific Command, told
reporters during a briefing at the Foreign Press Center in Washington.
