MNI BRIEF: China Looks Forward To US Cooperation-Minister

(MNI) London

China's Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao said he is "looking forward to" working with U.S. counterparts to cooperate and manage differences, following a phone call earlier in February between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden.

Economics and trade are drivers of the two countries' relations, Wang told reporters on Wednesday, noting that China was the U.S.'s largest trade partner last year despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Vice Minister Wang Shouwen said China is also making unofficial contacts with members of the 11-country Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership as it examines the possibility of eventually applying for membership.
