G20 Summit opens in Hangzhou, Xi delivers speech
Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that the Group of 20 (G20) should take a leadership role in major issues.
The Group of 20 summit opened Sunday in China's eastern city of Hangzhou amid multiple risks and challenges, aiming to find a therapy that can bring the world economy back to a healthy growth trajectory.
Business leaders from across the world gathered here over the weekend to ferret out the ills of the world economy and work out prescriptions to cure them.
The G20 summit in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou will be an opportunity for China to promote its own development model and to push the G20 members to adopt a joint approach towards infrastructure finance, a foreign policy expert told Xinhua in a recent interview.
The eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou is poised to offer the world the greenest G20 summit through a tree-planting project to offset carbon emissions during the meeting, underlining the country's commitment to green growth.
