China and US to hold trade talks soon, says China official

Trade talks between the US and China will be held soon, a Chinese Commerce Ministry official said on Thursday.

According to reports, the unnamed official said the countries had decided to hold the talks - which were postponed last week - in the coming days, although no further details were given.

China and the US reached a 'Phase One' agreement on trade in January, with more talks due to be held six months later.
