Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden will join Secretary of State John Kerry, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Trade Representative Michael Froman in a trip to China July 7 to 12 for the U.S.–China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
Harden will lead the Agriculture Department delegation at the U.S.–China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, USDA said.
“The dialogue will bring together high level officials and discuss the challenges and opportunities that both countries face on a wide range of bilateral, regional and global areas of immediate and long-term economic and strategic interest,” USDA said in a news release.
Harden will have additional meetings with high-level Chinese officials while in Beijing, and in Guangzhou will meet with importers of American agricultural products and visit facilities that handle American products, including a soybean crushing facility and a denim factory, USDA added.
