China calls for more efforts on global economic recovery

L'AQUILA, Italy, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo on Thursday called for more international efforts to push for recovery of the world economy.

Dai made the appeal when he, on behalf of Chinese President Hu Jintao, delivered a speech to the leaders' meeting of the Group of Eight (G8) and five leading emerging economies (G5) in the quake-torn Italian city of L'Aquila, according to a press release issued by the Chinese delegation.

Against the backdrop of economic globalization, the macro-economic policies adopted by one country, especially by a major economy, would exert an impact on other economies, Dai said in the speech entitled "Striving to push forward global economic recovery and enhance regulation of the world economy."

"So when we promulgate a policy aimed at economic recovery, we should not only put into consideration our own interests, but also have to cast eyes on the interests of other countries," Dai said.
