BEIJING -- China's state-owned Cofco group said Saturday that it has bought an additional 1 million tons of U.S. soybeans in a move that showcases Beijing's commitment to trade agreements following high-level talks in Washington last week.

The purchase, made in line with a December agreement between the two countries, added to the "millions of tons" of American soybeans Cofco had already bought in batches, the company said.
