Beijing looking for positive outcome of leaders' meeting

Beijing hopes the United States will meet it halfway to promote a positive outcome at the upcoming meeting between their leaders at the G20 summit, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Tuesday.

Geng told a daily news conference that President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, agreed to push forward a solution on trade issues that is acceptable to both in a phone conversation earlier this month.

Economic teams from both countries are in contact to implement the consensus reached by their leaders, he said.
