The third China-US Track 1.5 Dialogue was held in Beijing on Tuesday, bringing together representatives from Chinese government departments, local governments and think tanks, as well as US representatives from organizations including the Asia Society, CCTV News reported.

Participants will hold discussions on how to enhance political mutual trust, expand economic and trade cooperation, and explore cooperation in artificial intelligence, science and technology.

Established in 2023, the dialogue operates between formal government-to-government diplomacy, known as Track 1, and purely nongovernmental exchanges, known as Track 2.

The dialogue has become an important platform for communication among political parties, strategic communities, business communities, academic institutions and civil society in both China and the US. Previous meetings have produced a range of concrete proposals for strengthening bilateral exchanges and cooperation in political, economic, trade, technological and people-to-people fields, according to CCTV News.
