1st Ld-Writethru: G20 should take leadership role in key issues, Xi says

Xinhua, September 4, 2016 Adjust font size:

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that the Group of 20 (G20) should take a leadership role in major issues.

G20 should find a direction and a course for the world economy with a strategic vision, Xi said while addressing the opening of the G20 summit.

To meet the demand of the world economy, G20 should shift from coping with crisis to long-term governance, he said.

G20 should work with real actions but no empty talk, Xi said, calling for concrete actions to implement joint plans on sustainable development, green financing and anti-corruption, he said.

G20 should seek opinion from all parties and listen to the voices of developing countries to make the mechanism more inclusive, Xi said.

Countries have common aspiration for economic growth and development despite their different conditions, development status and challenges. Xi called on nations to strengthen partnership to get through the global economic hardships. Endi
