The Chinese and U.S. delegations held talks on economic and trade issues on Sunday at the OECD headquarters in Paris.

The Chinese delegation, now on a trip to the French capital from Saturday to Tuesday, is led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

According to a China Global Television Network (CGTN) reporter on site, the closed-door meeting on the first day of talks lasted about 6.5 hours and that details are yet to be disclosed. The two delegations left the venue after the meeting.

China's Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Friday that, guided by the important consensuses reached between the heads of state of the two countries during their meeting in Busan and in previous phone conversations, the two sides would engage in consultations on economic and trade issues of mutual concern.
