The US and China have agreed to launch an export control enforcement information dialogue and a new formal working group on commercial issues, the US Commerce Department said on Monday.

After meetings between U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, the exchange would provide a “platform to reduce misunderstandings of U.S. national security policies,” Raimondo said. “We are not compromising or negotiating on matters of national security. Period.”

The first in-person meeting of the export control information exchange will be held at the assistant secretary level at the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing on Tuesday, Raimondo said.

“The US is committed to be transparent about our export control enforcement strategy,” she said. “To show you how real this is, the first meeting of that new information exchange is tomorrow in Beijing. We’re wasting no time.”
