Storyline

Chinese Premier Li Qiang said, “A major cause of the current global economic doldrums is the rise in unilateral and protectionist measures, such as tariff hikes and erection of walls and barriers,” urging nations to find convergence of interests and promote inclusive economic globalization.

“We should settle differences and disputes peacefully through dialog and consultation. Persisting in camp-based confrontation or willful resort to force only drives peace further away,” he added.

On climate change, Premier Li advocated for upholding “the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities; promote the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement and enhance international collaboration on the green economy.”
