Commenting on the U.S. side's recent claim that China agrees to purchase large quantities of U.S. agricultural products, Gao said China and the United States are strongly complementary in agricultural trade and have huge room for cooperation.

"Affected by Sino-U.S. economic and trade frictions, agricultural trade between the two countries has taken a blow, which is something we do not want to see," Gao said.

"Trade in agricultural products is an important issue that needs to be discussed between the two sides," Gao said. "We hope that the two sides will proceed from the fundamental interests of the two peoples and find a solution to the problem on the basis of equality and mutual respect."

Gao expressed the hope that the two sides will follow the important instructions given at the meeting of the heads of state of the two countries, accommodate each other's reasonable concerns on the basis of equality and mutual respect, and seek mutually beneficial and win-win solutions to create a stable and predictable trade and investment environment for enterprises of the two countries and the rest of the world.

"This is not only in the interests of China and the United States and their peoples, but is also the common expectation of the international community," he said.
