People's Daily: Make Good Use of Consultation Mechanisms to Safeguard Dialogue Achievements

Golden Ten Data reported on June 11 that from June 9 to 10, local time, the first meeting of the Sino-US economic and trade consultation mechanism was held in London, England. China and the United States had a candid and in-depth dialogue, had an in-depth exchange of views on economic and trade issues of mutual concern, reached agreement in principle on the implementation of the important consensus reached by the two heads of state on June 5 and the framework of measures to consolidate the results of the Geneva economic and trade talks, and made new progress in addressing each other’s economic and trade concerns. Both China and the United States recognize the importance of stable China-US economic and trade relations to the economies of the two countries and the global economy, and the constructive results of the meeting have also brought new “optimism” to the world. Both history and reality tell us that cooperation between China and the United States will benefit both sides, and fighting will hurt both. Dialogue and cooperation are the only right choice for China and the United States. We believe that as long as the two sides work in the same direction, adhere to the principle of equality and mutual benefit, make good use of the existing consultation mechanism, and take concrete actions to protect the hard-won results of dialogue, we will certainly be able to promote the steady and long-term development of China-US economic and trade relations.
