Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials wrapped up the first of two days of talks in Paris on Sunday to resolve problems in their trade truce and pave the way for U.S. President Donald Trump's trip to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in late March.

The discussions, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, were expected to focus on changing US tariffs, the flow of rare earth minerals and magnets made in China to American buyers, US high-tech export controls and Chinese purchases of US agricultural products.

The two sides met for more than six hours at the headquarters of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris, with talks set to resume Monday morning, a Treasury spokesman said.

The spokesman did not provide any details on the tone or content of the talks, and Chinese officials left the OECD without speaking to reporters.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who is participating in the talks, said on Friday that US officials want to ensure stability in US-China relations.

"We want to make sure that we continue to get the rare metals that we need for our manufacturing base, that they continue to buy the kinds of things that they should buy from us, and that the leaders have a chance to come together and make sure that the relationship is going the way we want it to," Greer told CNBC before departing for Paris.

The talks between Bessent, He, Greer and China's trade negotiator Li Chenggang come after a series of meetings between them in European cities last year to ease trade tensions that threatened an imminent collapse of trade between the world's two largest economies.
