China’s representative will engage in trade discussions with a US delegation in South Korea

Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will lead a delegation to South Korea for trade negotiations with U.S. counterparts on May 12-13, as announced by China’s Ministry of Commerce on Sunday.

The discussions will adhere to the consensus established during previous calls and meetings between the top leaders of the two nations, including their meeting in Busan in October. The focus will be on economic and trade issues of mutual concern, as stated in a publication by the ministry on its website.

U.S. President Donald Trump is anticipated to visit China this week, with the White House extending an invitation to a reduced CEO delegation to join him in Beijing, according to reports from Reuters citing sources.
