Media: The first day of Sino-US economic and trade consultations lasted over six hours, covering topics such as agriculture and critical minerals
On March 15, the economic and trade teams of China and the United States held Sino-US economic and trade consultations in Paris, France. Reuters reported that the first day of talks lasted more than six hours and continued on the 16th.
Senior economic and trade officials from both countries opened a two-day economic and trade meeting in the headquarters of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, creating a positive atmosphere for the summit between the top leaders of the two countries. A spokesperson for the U.S. Treasury said that the first day of consultations ended at 6 p.m. on the 15th and would continue on the morning of the 16th.
According to a source cited by Reuters, the first day of negotiations covered areas such as agriculture, critical minerals, and managed trade, which could lead to agreements. China is open to increasing purchases of U.S. agricultural products.
The talks were "candid and constructive," paving the way for potential "achievements" during President Trump's visit to China at the end of March. The sources added that these proposals will ultimately be decided by the leaders of the two countries.
