The three-day talks will cover issues related to goods and services trade, investment, and other areas.
Bilateral trade rose 21.1 percent year-on-year in 2012 to $180 million. Chinese exports rose 24.6 percent year-on-year to $95.39 million, while Chinese imports increased 17.7 percent year-on-year to $88.96 million.
