China and U.S. Aim to Extend Tariff Truce After Productive Talks

In the wake of high-level trade discussions in Sweden, the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed hopes that the United States will cooperate with China to promote sustainable development in their bilateral relationship. The ministry emphasized the importance of dialogue and communication in achieving this goal.

During a routine press briefing, ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun highlighted the necessity for both nations to strengthen their consensus and minimize misunderstandings. This statement followed requests for more details regarding the recent talks in Stockholm, which concluded on Tuesday.
