On Saturday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang emphasized the need for unity among the G20 participants and urged collaboration, inclusiveness, and steadfast support for economic globalization.
Li, the second-ranking official in the Communist Party of China (CPC), is representing President Xi Jinping at the next G20 meeting in New Delhi, which will be held from September 9 to 10.
Premier Li said at the opening remarks of the 18th G20 Summit in New Delhi that the important group needs “unity instead of division, cooperation instead of confrontation, and inclusion instead of exclusion.” The G20 member nations account for over two-thirds of global population, over 75% of global commerce, and nearly 85% of the world’s GDP.
According to China’s state-run Xinhua news agency, Li encouraged the G20 countries to steadfastly advance economic globalization and preserve the stability and efficiency of industry and supply chains together.
He said that the G20 members should uphold the founding ideals of unity and collaboration and take on the current demands for peace and development.
Li encouraged the G20 countries to work together to support the global economic recovery by increasing the coordination of macroeconomic policy in order to inspire confidence and fuel global economic development.
He said that the G20 nations should collaborate to preserve the planet, advance green and low-carbon growth, safeguard the marine ecosystem, and be allies in advancing sustainable development on a global scale.
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union (EU) are all members of the G20 group.
The African Union joined the Group of 20 (G20) on Saturday, marking the first enlargement of the important bloc since its founding in 1999 and a key development under India’s G20 chairmanship.
