BEIJING -- In its first public comment since the U.S.-China leaders' summit in Argentina, China's Commerce Ministry expressed confidence in implementing the agreements that were made at the meeting and promised quick action.

"We are confident about the implementation [of the consensuses from the meeting]," an unnamed spokesperson for the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. The statement described the dinner meeting last Saturday between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump as "very successful."
