China is willing to work with other participants at the UN-sponsored climate change summit to be held in Copenhagen next month to reach a "fair and reasonable" outcome, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Thursday.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministerial Meeting, Yang said China hopes to see balanced and positive results on climate change mitigation, adaptation, financing and technology support, four aspects of coordinated efforts outlined by the 2007 UN Climate Change Conference held in Bali, Indonesia.

Yang said China hopes the Copenhagen conference will push for the comprehensive, effective and sustainable implementation of theUN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, according to sources of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

State and government leaders from about 190 countries will attend the Copenhagen conference, which is expected to renew greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets set by the Kyoto Protocol before they expire in 2012.

Yang said participants at a recent climate change summit reached an important consensus that the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol should be the primary channel and legal framework for the international community to tackle the climate change and international cooperation should follow the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities".

China has repeatedly said developed countries should take the lead in cutting gas emissions and honor their commitments to support developing countries with funds and technology transfers.

At the APEC Ministerial Meeting, which concludes Thursday, Yang also said the world's economy has showed signs of recovery but negative impacts of the financial crisis are not yet over. To achieve the all-around recovery is a slow and arduous progress. The APEC should unite, enhance cooperation and work together to consolidate the recovery and push for a stable growth.

Yang said APEC members should restructure the economic growth model to nurture new areas of growth and increase the share of domestic consumption to drive the recovery.

Yang said growth should be inclusive, trickling the benefits of globalization and economic development to all people and lay a solid social foundation for future growth.

Yang said the strategy of sustainable growth should be implemented. He called for energy-saving and environmental friendly ways of production and consumption to lay the ground for sustainable growth.

Yang said the interests and demands of developed and developing economies should be equally attended to but special attention should be given to developing members' crisis-resiliency and their ability to recover.

Yang said China has taken a series of positive measures to sustain growth, undertake structural change, strengthen social security networks and now positive progress has been achieved.

The APEC groups 21 Pacific Rim economies which account for 40 percent of the world's population and more than half of the world's economic output. APEC leaders will meet on Nov. 14- November 15 for the group's annual summit.
