Li Cheng gang, China international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce and vice-minister of commerce, said during a meeting with a US agricultural trade delegation in Beijing on Tuesday thatsound China-US economic and trade relations benefit not only both countries but also the world.

商务部国际贸易谈判代表兼副部长李成钢周二在北京会见美国农业贸易代表团时表示，健康稳定的中美经贸关系不仅有利于两国，也有利于世界。

Since May, the two sides' economic and trade teams have held five rounds of talks under the strategic guidance of the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, helping stabilize bilateral trade ties, Li said.

This fully demonstrates that guided by the principles of equality, mutual respect andreciprocity, China and the US can find solutions through dialogue and cooperation, he added.

Recognizing that the two countries are major trading partners in agricultural products, Li said recent fluctuations in China-US agricultural product trade stem from Washington's unilateral tariff measures, adding that the two sides havecomplementary strengths in natural endowments, markets, capital and technology, and enjoy broad space for cooperation.

李成钢承认两国是主要的农产品贸易伙伴，他表示近期中美农产品贸易的波动源于美方的单边关税措施，并补充说，双方在自然资源、市场、资本和技术方面优势互补，拥有广阔的合作空间。

He expressed the hope that the US would work with China to take a long-term view and foster a favorable atmosphere for substantive cooperation in agriculture and other fields.
