Next week, there will be an economic and trade dialogue between China and the United States held in Sweden, and the outside world is looking forward to both sides reaching further consensus.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on the 23rd that, as agreed by the two sides, Chinese Communist Party Central Committee Politburo member and Vice Premier of the State Council, He Lifeng, will travel to Sweden from July 27th to 30th for economic and trade talks with the US. The day before, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stated in an interview with American media that he will hold the third round of trade negotiations with Chinese representatives in Stockholm on the 28th and 29th. Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with reporters on the 23rd that given the progress made in the previous two rounds of talks, the public expects the two sides to reach further consensus in the upcoming talks in Sweden. "Dialogue and engagement are always better than confrontation, as this will help create a more predictable environment for businesses in both countries and other countries."
