Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Thursday that the visit of US Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans to China is conducive to the economic and trade development of China and the United States.
Evans concluded his four-day visit on Wednesday. Zhang said the Chinese premier met with Evans during his visit and the two exchanged views on issues of common concern in a "friendly, open and frank" atmosphere.
Evans also held talks with senior officials of China's Ministry of Commerce and the two sides had deepened discussions on various issues related to China-US trade.
Zhang said the visit helped Evans get better understanding of Chinese government's efforts in solving the China-US trade problems and fulfilling its commitments to the World Trade Organization.
Zhang said it was true that China and the United States had some problems in trade but the two sides should handle them with a constructive attitude.
