HONG KONG, March ‌27 (Reuters) - ​China ​is willing to strengthen economic and trade cooperation with the ‌United States, its Commerce Minister Wang Wentao ⁠said during a meeting with U.S. Trade ‌Representative Jamieson Greer, China's ‌Commerce Ministry said in a statement.

The discussion occurred during a World Trade ​Organization meeting in Cameroon on Thursday, the ministry said.

Wang said economic and ⁠trade relations should be the engine of China-U.S. relations ​and both sides should "properly handle the relationship between competition and cooperation."

Both ​countries should strengthen mutually ‌beneficial cooperation, "avoid vicious competition" and jointly "look forward" to promote healthy, ⁠stable bilateral economic and trade relations.

Wang expressed "serious concern" regarding the United States' Section ⁠301 investigations against several economies, including China.

The U.S. ​Trade Representative's office said in March it had begun a second set of Section 301 ‌unfair trade practices probes of 60 economies in relation to what ‌it called failures to take action ⁠on forced labour.
