Vice-premier to hold trade talks with US in Sweden

Beijing and Washington are set to hold the third round of trade talks next week in Sweden, a positive development that analysts said will not only help the world's two largest economies steady their ties, but also inject much-needed certainty into the global economy.

Vice-Premier He Lifeng will be in Sweden from Sunday to Tuesday to hold economic and trade talks with United States officials, as agreed upon by both sides, the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

The two sides will fully leverage their economic and trade consultation mechanism and continue consultations on issues of mutual concern in the spirit of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, the ministry added.
