China News Agency, Beijing, March 26 (Reporter Zhang Su) Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Luo Zhaohui said in Beijing on the 26th that all members of the G20 were the victims of the epidemic. China looks forward to and believes that this special summit will reach an important consensus on joint efforts to deal with the epidemic and stabilize the world economy.
The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the same day to introduce China's international cooperation in fighting the epidemic.
It is understood that Saudi Arabia, the rotating chairman of the Group of Twenty (G20), previously issued a statement saying that a special summit of G20 leaders will be held by video conference on the 26th.
"Today, the eyes of the world will be on the special summit of the G20 leaders." Luo Zhaohui said that at present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is spreading at multiple points around the world, endangering the lives and health of people in all countries, and seriously impacting the world economy. The meeting was very timely. The international community generally expects the G20 to mobilize all parties to work together to fight the epidemic and stabilize the global economy.
Luo Zhaohui pointed out that the G20 is an important platform for global crisis response and economic cooperation, and played an important role in responding to the 2008 international financial crisis. In the current context, the international community certainly expects the G20 to play a leading role again, especially all members of the G20 are the victims of this outbreak. This special summit is also the first video summit in G20 history, and it is an important opportunity for all parties to discuss and take common action.
"This summit is the first major multilateral diplomatic event attended by President Xi Jinping since the outbreak. At present, China's epidemic prevention and control has achieved remarkable results. It is also actively supporting countries' anti-epidemic struggles, and is highly praised by the international community." Luo Zhaohui said China looks forward to and believes that this special summit will definitely reach an important consensus on working together to respond to the epidemic and stabilizing the world economy, and will send positive signals to strengthen unity, deepen cooperation and close coordination.
"China is willing to work with G20 members to promote the summit to achieve positive and pragmatic results, let us wait and see." Luo Zhaohui said. (Finish)
