BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s commerce minister met with the head of Russia’s ministry of economic development in Moscow on Thursday, according to a Chinese ministry statement on Friday.
The two officials had in-depth exchanges on economic, trade and investment cooperation as well as responding to U.S. reciprocal tariffs, the statement said.
China recently decided to agree to hold high-level economic and trade meetings with the U.S. after “full and comprehensive assessment,” Chinese minister Wang Wentao said in the meeting, vowing to safeguard China’s own development interests.
