CHINA: China, US agree to address remaining issues for phase one deal: MOFCOM

(Global Times)

- The "relevant issues" discussed on the Tuesday phone call may include tariff

removal, agricultural purchases and a review mechanism for the implementation of

a potential agreement, according to an expert who is closely following the trade

talks. The officials may have also discussed a date for a face-to-face meeting,

said the expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The two teams have not

had a face-to-face meeting since the latest round of negotiations in Washington

in mid-October, and have instead relied on phone calls. Media reports last week

suggested that officials could hold another round of talks in Beijing.
