 　　BEIJING, May 11 (Xinhua) -- China and Switzerland have made "great progress" in the fifth round of bilateral1 talks on a possible Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the Ministry2 of Commerce said Friday.

　　During the May 8-10 talk, the two countries exchanged views on topics of tax cuts, service trade, rules of origin, sanitary3 and phytosanitary measures, technical trade barriers and intellectual property rights, reaching a series of agreements on the issues, the ministry said.
　　China and Switzerland formally launched bilateral FTA talks in January, with the aim of promoting economic development and closer ties between the two countries.
