China's international trade representative, Li Chenggang, is gearing up for a strategic visit to Washington, D.C. this month, following a co-chair role at the China-Canada Joint Economic and Trade Commission in Ottawa from August 24 to 27. According to an announcement by China's Ministry of Commerce, his North American tour spans key talks aimed at strengthening bilateral dialogue.
Li's itinerary underscores a dual focus: wrapping up high-stakes discussions in Canada, then pivoting to a fresh round of meetings with U.S. officials. The Ministry of Commerce highlights that both sides are ready to tap into existing economic and trade consultation mechanisms, work through challenges on equal footing, and chart a path toward more stable, healthy, and sustainable China-U.S. economic relations.
The visit comes at a time when global citizensâfrom entrepreneurs and tech innovators to policy advocatesâare tracking the evolving ties between the world's two largest economies. Whether you're eyeing new market opportunities or studying the resilience of supply chains, Li's back-to-back engagements in Ottawa and Washington could set the tone for the next chapter of international trade cooperation.
