Li to visiting US lawmakers: Let's advance relations

China is ready to work with the United States to "tangibly press ahead" with the bilateral investment treaty negotiations and to resolve divergence and frictions through dialogue and consultations, Premier Li Keqiang told visiting US lawmakers on Monday.

The delegation, including Senator Steve Daines of Montana, arrived in Beijing shortly after the first meeting between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump on Thursday and Friday.

In answer to a question proposed by the US lawmakers at the meeting in Beijing on Monday, Li said China is also willing to expand two-way trade, investment and cooperation between them.
