The Chinese foreign ministry said on Wednesday that it hoped the United States would work with China to promote sustainable development of bilateral ties through dialog and communication, following high-level trade talks in Sweden.

Both sides should "enhance consensus" and "reduce misunderstanding," said Guo Jiakun, a ministry spokesperson, when asked at a regular press conference if he could provide more details about the Stockholm talks, which concluded on Tuesday.

U.S. and Chinese officials agreed to seek an extension of their 90-day tariff truce following two days of what both sides described as constructive talks aimed at defusing a trade war between the world's two largest economies.
