Chinese VP highlights role of youth in global economic growth

Xinhua, July 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao on Monday called on young people from G20 to inject vitality into the world economy through entrepreneurship and innovation.

Li told Youth 20 meeting (Y20) delegates at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing that the Chinese government highly valued young people's (YP) desire to contribute to global economic governance.

He called on YP to play a positive role in the building of a more just and equitable international order, as well as a more fair and rational global governance system.

The vice president also hoped the Y20 delegates would support friendship among all nations through cultural exchanges and mutual learning.

This year's G20 leaders summit will be held in east China's Hangzhou City in early September. The Y20 is a forum to gather attitudes and suggestions from YP for national leaders. Endi
