China, US to hold trade talks in October: China commerce ministry
[BEIJING] China and the United States agreed to hold trade talks in early October in Washington, China's commerce ministry said on Thursday.
The announcement followed a call earlier in the day between China's Vice Premier Liu He and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on its website. China's central bank governor Yi Gang also attended the call.
Before the October talks, trade teams from the two countries will hold consultations in mid-September, the ministry said, adding that both sides agreed to take actual actions to create favorable conditions.
