The United Nations is banking on upcoming talks in Switzerland to reset the trade relationship between the United States and China. UN spokesperson Farhan Haq emphasized that, as the Secretary-General noted, there can be no winners in a trade war. In a world where prolonged tensions can feel like an unending drama, these discussions offer a refreshing plot twist aimed at easing global economic strains.
The meetings will see key figures taking center stage. He Lifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, is scheduled to visit Switzerland from May 9 to 12. During his visit, He Lifeng will lead China-U.S. economic and trade affairs talks, meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the designated lead on the U.S. side.
With trade tensions often impacting developing nations, the UN’s call for dialogue is a timely reminder of the importance of bridging differences for the sake of global stability. Stay tuned for more updates as these high-level discussions aim to script a new chapter for international trade! 🌍💡
