"Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao will visit the US next week," the official said on Thursday. "He will meet with Secretary of Commerce Raimondo and US Trade Representative Katherine Tai."
The trip will provide an opportunity for the US and China to engage in dialogue through bilateral, regional, and multilateral channels to address concerns in the economic and trade areas, the official added.
