Li: Cooperation a priority for G20

Premier says China will work with all parties to advance global recovery

Premier Li Qiang underlined the necessity for Group of 20 members to prioritize cooperation over development and expedite efforts in promoting strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of the global economy, while addressing the Virtual G20 Leaders' Summit on Wednesday.

With the road to global economic recovery remaining challenging, China is willing to work with all parties to uphold the original aspiration of cooperation, respond to the call of the times, and forge ahead to create a better future for humanity, Li said.

He reiterated Beijing's opposition to the politicization of development issues and overstretching the concept of security to these issues, saying that more pragmatic measures must be adopted to implement the consensus reached at the New Delhi summit in September.
