A new round of China-US economic and trade talks is set to take place in Paris, France, marking the latest step in a series of negotiations aimed at stabilizing one of the world's most significant bilateral economic and trade relationships.
The upcoming talks, scheduled for March 14-17, follow five previous rounds held in Geneva, London, Stockholm, Madrid and Kuala Lumpur between May and late October 2025. Together, these meetings reflect a gradual effort by both sides to maintain communication channels and manage tensions.
Talks so far, guided by the consensus reached by the two heads of state last year, have yielded candid, in-depth and constructive exchanges of views on important economic and trade issues of mutual concern.
