Updated: 2006-04-03 19:12 Vice-Premier Wu Yi left
Beijing Monday at the head of the Chinese government delegation to the United
States.
She will co-chair the 17th meeting of the Sino-U.S. Joint Commission on
Commerce and Trade (JCCT) in Washington with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos
Gutierrez and Trade Representative Rob Portman.
Li Changjiang, Minister of the General Administration of Quality Supervision,
Inspection and Quarantine, is a member of the delegation.
At a meeting in Beijing last week, Wu and Gutierrez vowed to improve
bilateral trade and economic ties to create a "positive atmosphere" for the
meeting between Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S. President George W. Bush in
Washington next month.
Sino-U.S. trade hit 212 billion U.S. dollars last year. China has become the
fourth largest export market and the third largest trade partner of the United
States.
