Definition
交涉 (jiāo shè) is a formal verb meaning 'to negotiate or have dealings with a party', often used in official, diplomatic, or business contexts. It implies a back-and-forth discussion to resolve an issue, and is more specific than 打交道 (general dealings) and less formal than 磋商 (very formal consultations). Unlike 谈判, which often refers to formal negotiation sessions, 交涉 can also cover ongoing dealings.
