Chinese team preparing to leave for trade talks in U.S.: FM spokesperson

China's trade delegation is preparing to go to the United States for further consultations, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said Monday.

Geng made the remarks at a press briefing when answering relevant questions, adding that the past ten rounds of Sino-U.S. economic and trade consultations have recorded positive progress.

"What's most pressing at the moment is that, we hope, the U.S. side and the Chinese side will work together to meet each other half way and strive to reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement on the basis of mutual respect," he said.

"This not only serves the Chinese interests, but also the U.S. interests. It also meets the general expectation of the international community," Geng said.
