Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have started a new round of trade talks in Kuala Lumpur, paving the way for a possible meeting between the presidents of the world’s two largest economies.
The Chinese delegation of about 20 people arrived at the Merdeka 118 tower, the highest skyscraper in Malaysia, just before 11am on Saturday, and quietly walked past waiting reporters to a lift that would take them to the 96th floor of the glassy structure, which is still largely under construction.
A representative of the Chinese embassy said before talks began that the Chinese delegation’s US counterparts were already at the site. The two sides are due to talk until at least early evening, with no scheduled end time and a possible resumption on Sunday.
