Premier to attend virtual G20 leaders' summit

Premier Li Qiang, at the invitation of the government of India, will attend the Virtual G20 Leaders' Summit on Wednesday, a gathering that is expected to consolidate consensus and send a positive signal to address global challenges through cooperation.

In the face of the volatile international situation and sluggish global economic recovery, it is necessary for the G20 to reinforce partnerships and make positive contributions to world economic recovery and global common development, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday.

During the closing session of the New Delhi G20 Summit in September, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the hosting of the virtual summit.
