China and the United States will hold their annual talks on commerce and trade ties in Chicago next week, a Foreign Ministry Spokesperson announced on Wednesday.
The 25th Session of the China-US Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) was slated for Dec. 16 to 18, spokesman Hong Lei told a routine press briefing.
Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang, US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Trade Representative Michael Froman will co-chair the talks, said Hong.
Launched in 1983, the JCCT plays an important role in promoting China-U.S. economic cooperation and addressing trade issues.
