Talks to be resumed on Sino-US trade

A senior Chinese negotiator will visit the United States at Washington's invitation late this month to resume trade talks, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

It will be the first bilateral meeting since the Sino-US trade dispute escalated in June, attracting lots of attention and high expectations.

On the invitation of the US, a delegation led by Wang Shouwen, vice-minister of commerce and China's deputy international trade representative, will meet with a team led by the US Treasury's Undersecretary for International Affairs David Malpass, the ministry said in a statement.
