EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic, who held talks with China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao in Brussels on Monday, said he wanted dialogue to yield "tangible" results by October and another meeting planned in China as the bloc aims to work on a widening gap with the world's second-largest economy.
Talks were "intensive, focused and constructive," Sefcovic told reporters on Monday, adding both national delegations will keep talking during the evening.
"We think that between now and October, our teams have sufficient time to deliver tangible results," he said. Wang invited him to travel to Beijing in October.
Sefcovic insisted the European Union wants the talks to address the widening trade gap.
"Not everything will be fixed, but we think that between now and October, our teams have sufficient time to deliver the tangible results," he said.
