Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will head a delegation to South Korea for trade talks with U. S. counterparts on May 12‑13, the Ministry of Commerce announced.  

The meetings aim to build on agreements made in earlier talks and a 2023 summit in Busan, where leaders of both countries discussed key economic matters.  

The focus will be on trade issues that matter to both sides, the ministry said.  

Meanwhile U. S. President Donald Trump is expected to travel to China this week, and the White House has invited a reduced group of CEOs to join him in Beijing.  

These events highlight how China and the United States are still seeking ways to cooperate economically, even as political tensions rise.  

South Korea’s role as a neutral meeting place underscores its importance in global trade negotiations.
