In addition to Carter and Kissinger, former US President's National Security Advisors Brent Snowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski as well as some US ambassadors in Beijing attended the seminar.

"As a Chinese saying goes 'when you drink the water, think of those who dug the well.' I want to pay high tribute to leaders of the older generations and all those visionaries working for the diplomatic relations between the two countries," State Councilor Dai Bingguo said.

Later Monday, Chinese President Hu met with Carter-led US delegation on the sidelines of celebrations.

"As old friends of the Chinese people, you played an important role in establishing China-US diplomatic ties and witnessed that historic decision," Hu told the US delegation.

"For a long time, whether in office or retired, you have made unremitting efforts in building the friendship between the two nations and developing the relationship. I highly appreciate those efforts."

"For all American citizens, particularly for these leaders, this is a wonderful occasion to celebrate," Carter said.

"I explained the purpose of this visit to President-elect Obama. He wants me to extend to you his personal greetings and his commitment to continuing the mutual respect and partnership we've enjoyed over the past 30 years."

Carter said: "All of us, even including Deng Xiaoping, would have been amazed 30 years ago at the great changes that took place not only within your own country, but in the relationship between our two nations."

A reception will be held in the Great Hall of the People Monday evening, with Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping hosting guests from the two countries.
