It is understood that the teams of China and the United States are currently stepping up the implementation of relevant achievements of the London Framework.China is willing to emphasize again that the Geneva consensus and the London framework are hard-won, and blackmail coercion has no way out, and dialogue and cooperation are the right way.We hope that the US side will continue to move with China, make cooperation the main theme of China-US economic and trade, promote the global trade system to return to the track of fairness and openness, and make due contributions to the recovery and growth of the global economy.
