"Wang Wentao accepted Catherine Tai's offer to hold a meeting," reads a short message posted on the ministry's website. "The parties expressed their mutual readiness to continue to support the dialogue [on trade and economic issues]."
It clarifies that after the talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden on the Indonesian island of Bali, Beijing and Washington maintain contacts with each other to resolve trade and economic problems, which "are sincere, professional and constructive."
