Chinese premier calls for advancing economic globalisation, unity within G20

NEW DELHI, Sept 9 — Chinese Premier Li Qiang urged on Saturday the Group of 20 (G20) members to resolutely advance economic globalisation and promote unity, cooperation and inclusion within the G20.

The G20 members should stick to the original aspiration of unity and cooperation, and shoulder the responsibility of the times for peace and development, Li said while addressing the first session of the 18th G20 Summit, said Xinhua.

He urged the G20 members to act as partners in promoting global economic recovery through effectively strengthening macro-economic policy coordination to convey confidence and provide impetus for world economic growth.

The G20 members should resolutely promote economic globalisation, jointly maintain the stability and smoothness of industrial and supply chains, and be partners in promoting global open cooperation, Li said.

The G20 members should also work together to protect the earth’s green home, promote green and low-carbon development, protect the marine ecological environment, and be partners in promoting global sustainable development, he said.

The G20 needs unity instead of division, cooperation instead of confrontation, and inclusion instead of exclusion, he added.
