He confirmed that President Xi Jinping will attend the 12th BRICS Summit, the 27th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and the 15th G20 Summit.,
The spokesperson said, at present, the ravaging COVID-19 has put the lives and health of people all over the world at great risk and the world economy falling into deep recession.
Unilateralism, protectionism and bullying practices are on the rise, and economic globalization is facing headwinds, which aggravates the risks and uncertainties in the world economy.
President Xi Jinping’s participation reflects the great significance China attaches to the three summits and global economic governance.
During the three summits, President Xi Jinping will elaborate on China’s proposals and initiatives on strengthening cooperation. China is willing to work with all parties to ensure the success of these meetings.
Those unprecedented challenges accentuate the importance of the upcoming the 12th BRICS Summit, the 27th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting and the 15th G20 Summit. BRICS countries are emerging markets and developing countries commanding global influence.
APEC is an important economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, and G20 is the main forum for international economic cooperation and an important platform to respond to global crises and improve global economic governance.
Under the current situation, the convening of the three summits will play an important leading role in strengthening global cooperation against the pandemic, promoting world economic recovery, improving global economic governance, and enhancing regional economic cooperation,” he added. – Agencies
