Chinese president says G20 obliged to promote world economic growth

Xinhua, November 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chinese President Xi Jinping said here on Sunday that the task of the Group of Twenty (G20) is to promote world economic growth.

In a speech delivered on the first day of a G20 summit, Xi said the G20 should work to maintain a stable economic growth in the short term, while seeking to inject new impetus into the world economy in the long run.

The Chinese president said every country should take measures to manage their domestic economic situation well, and join hands to face challenges.

To achieve that goal, Xi raised four proposals, including strengthening communication and coordination on macro-economic policies; promoting reform and innovation to enhance growth potential; building an open world economy to bring out vigor in international trade and investment; implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to inject strong impetus into equitable and inclusive development.
