Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack expressed his pleasure - with the progress made towards resolving our differences on beef access. According to the Secretary, - this is a vital outcome for our farmers and ranchers. Technical talks will resume as soon as possible with the goal of re-opening China’s market in early 2011.

The United States and China also signed seven new agreements covering agricultural collaboration, soybean exports, statistics, and promotion of investment in the United States. In addition, the U.S. Trade Development Agency signed the Operating Framework Agreement that marks 10 years of its China program as well as grants for State Grid Smart Grid Standards Development and an Integrated Real Time Water Monitoring System Feasibility Study and Pilot Project.

The JCCT was co-chaired by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk along with Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan. Secretary Vilsack also participated in the discussions. U.S. businesses are expected to now become more competitive in China.
