mutual consultation

A resolution at last year's meeting agreed on a united approach as the United States and China vie for influence, and mutual consultation before entering security arrangements.

Wong, better known by the pen name Zunzi, told The Associated Press the decision was made through mutual consultation.

We never undertook to do any thing, of any importance, without a mutual consultation.

China’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Yao Jing, told Reuters that Beijing was open to changes proposed by the new government and “we will definitely follow their agenda” to work out a roadmap for BRI projects based on “mutual consultation”.

That was a remarkable opening volley for a process requiring mutual consultation between two government authorities.
