We will continue to deeply involved in the process of economic globalization, support for the multilateral trading system. We will relax foreign investment to increase access, improve the degree of facilitation, promotion of fair and open competition, to create a good business environment. At the same time, we will accelerate with the countries concerned signing free trade agreements and investment agreements, and promote high standards of domestic free trade pilot area. while the orderly conduct of the RMB exchange rate market-oriented reforms, and gradually open up the domestic capital market, we will continue to push the yuan to go out and improve the international financial industry Level.

China’s development has benefited from the international community, but also the international community is willing to provide more public goods. I made ‘along the way’ initiative, aimed at countries along with China to share development opportunities and common prosperity of the Silk Road Economic Belt series of key projects and economic corridor construction has made important progress in the 21st century maritime Silk Road construction is promoted simultaneously. we advocate create Asian infrastructure investment Bank, have begun to play an active role in regional infrastructure construction.

It is believed that China’s development prospects will be getting better and better contribution to the world will be getting bigger!

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!

Currently, the world economic recovery twists and turns in the depth adjustment, is in a critical period of growth momentum old converted kinetic energy on a technological and industrial revolution provided facing subsided, a new round of growth momentum in gestation. Now, protectionism, international trade and investment in the doldrums, the multilateral trading system faces bottlenecks, RTAs clusters, leading to rule fragmented. geopolitical factors complex, political and security conflict and instability, refugee crisis, climate change, terrorism and other regional hotspots and global challenges, impact on the world economy can not be ignored.

Faced with a complex situation and the risks and challenges of the current world economy, the international community’s G20 summit in Hangzhou have high expectations. On the last G20 summit in Antalya, I proposed to the world economy the quasi-pulse, a good party. China hopes to work with all parties to push Hangzhou prescribe a peak tackling the problem, comprehensive facilities strategy prescription, to promote the world economy on a strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth path.

First, building an innovative economy in the world, open up sources of growth. Innovation is the growth of the lock to open the fundamental keys. Internet as the core of a new round of technological revolution and industrial ready, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other new technologies combined with each passing day, the virtual economy and real economy, will bring revolutionary changes in people’s production and life. this change will not happen overnight, it will not be plain sailing, countries need to work together to promote full zoom and accelerate its positive effects at the same time, the possible negative effects to a minimum.

China is the innovation growth mode is set to Hangzhou summit priority issues, and promote the development of innovation and growth in the Group of Twenty << >> blueprint, the purpose is to power innovation would like to reform and enhance the vitality, innovation and grasp the new technological revolution and industrial revolution, historic opportunity for the digital economy, enhance long-term growth potential of the world economy. this is the first time the Group of Twenty focus on innovation action, we want to force countries to implement innovation policies in one place, so that there is consensus on the concept of action have plan, secure the mechanism. we want to highlight the issue of global economic growth for the downturn appears on macroeconomic policy innovation, fiscal and monetary policies and structural reforms effectively combined.

Second, the construction of an open world economy, and expand development history of world economic development has proved that progress in opening up the closure lead to backwardness. Return to the old expense of others, not only can not get rid of their own crisis and recession, and the world economy will be narrowed down common space, resulting in ‘lose-lose’ situation.

‘Light Guan Yi Road, wide agricultural trade.’ This is the construction of an open world economy proper meaning. Chinese trade and investment in the Group of Twenty put on the important agenda. Our G20 to strengthen trade and investment in the construction of mechanisms developed global trade growth strategies and global investment guidelines, consolidation of the multilateral trading system and reaffirmed the commitment against protectionism. we hope that through these initiatives, the national development and to create greater market space to revive trade and investment, the two engines.

Third, the construction of linkage type in the world economy, the combination of interaction forces in age of economic globalization, countries to develop a chain, a prosperity, a loss for both sides. No country can be spared, coordination and cooperation is the inevitable choice. We want the world economic resonance to achieve joint development.

We should strengthen the linkage policy rules on the one hand through macroeconomic policy coordination enlarged front spillover effects, reducing the negative externalities, on the other hand promote exchanges and mutual learning, to solve the systems, policies, standards asymmetry problem. We should reinforce the linkage of infrastructure China is to launch a global infrastructure interconnection Union initiative to promote multilateral development banks issued a joint vision statement, increase capital investment and intellectual support for infrastructure projects in order to accelerate global infrastructure interconnection process. we should promote the interests of a win-win collaboration to promote the building and optimizing the global value chain, expanding involvement of all parties to create a win-win global growth chain.

Fourth, build an inclusive model of the world economy, strengthening the win-win basis to eliminate poverty and hunger, promote inclusive and sustainable development, is not only a moral obligation of the international community, but also the release of effective demand immeasurable. According to statistics, the world now Gini coefficient has reached about 0.7, more than the proven 0.6 ‘danger line’, must draw our attention. At the same time, the global industrial structure adjustment to different industry groups and has had an impact. we must face up to and properly handle this issue, trying to make globalization more inclusive economy.

To achieve these goals, the first time this year the Group of Twenty development issues at the heart of global macro policy framework, for the first time in 2030 on the implementation of the sustainable development agenda to develop action plans for the first time to support African countries and the least developed countries industrial cooperation pathbreaking The parties reaffirmed their commitment to promote climate change << >> Paris agreements enter into force as soon as possible. we are also on energy availability, energy efficiency, renewable energy, joint venture to develop an action plan to strengthen food security and agricultural cooperation. we care different sectors and groups, particularly the needs of poor people, promoting various countries to discuss public administration and redistribution policy adjustments.

We want to send a signal to the international community: not only belong to the Group of Twenty twenty Member States, also belongs to the world our goal is to make growth and development for all countries and peoples, people of the world especially those of developing countries the days are getting better every day!

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!

An action than a dozen programs. G20 members should work with the international community in the firm belief immediate action to make efforts in the following aspects.

First, jointly safeguard peace and stable international environment. History has repeatedly proved that without peace there can be no development without stability there is no prosperity is closely related to the security of States, no country can be spared, and no country can conquer the world. Discard outdated Cold War mentality, establish a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable new security concept is a priority. we call upon all peace and tranquility valuable treasure for maintaining global and regional stability and play a constructive role. States should adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, uphold multilateralism to resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, to seek consensus rather than destroy, rather than create conflicts to resolve, make the international order more just and rational direction.

Work together, symbiotic harmony genetic history of the Chinese nation, but also the essence of Oriental civilization. China unswervingly take the road of peaceful development. Guoqiang bound to seek hegemony does not apply logic, militaristic road to nowhere. China is a permanent member of the UN Security Council to send most national peacekeeping personnel, not long ago in Mali and South Sudan, UN peacekeepers have sacrificed the outstanding son of the Chinese people. we will continue to fulfill its international obligations, always make world peace builders and defenders.

Second, work together to build a global partnership for win-win cooperation in the economic globalization today, there is no isolated island. Residents of the same global village, we have to establish a common destiny of human consciousness is the spirit of partnership the Group of Twenty’s most valuable wealth, but also all countries to jointly cope with global challenges choice.

We should seek common ground, poly assimilation, work together to build new international relations, cooperation and win-win. Regardless of the size of the country, strong or weak, rich or poor, should be equal treatment, not only to develop their own good, but also to help other countries develop good Everyone is good can the world a better place.

We should strengthen communication and coordination on major global issues, for the realization of world peace, stability and prosperity to provide more public goods. We should establish a sound macroeconomic policy coordination mechanisms, considering the linkage effects of domestic policies and transduction, promote positive rather than negative spillovers. we should rely on partnerships, uphold the concept of win-win situation, strengthen pragmatic cooperation in various fields, and continuously expand the connotation and extension of cooperation, and promote cooperation achievements in line with people’s expectations. we should promote different countries, different cultures and people historical background depth exchanges, enhance mutual understanding, work together to build a common destiny of mankind.

Third, jointly improve global economic governance. The saying goes, little wisdom Zhi Shi, Dazhi governance system. Faced with the evolution of the world economic situation, global economic governance need to advance with the times, time change global economic governance should be based on equality to better reflect the new realities of the world economy, and emerging market countries to increase the representation and voice of developing countries, to ensure equal rights of nations in international economic cooperation, equal opportunities and equal rules.

Global economic governance should be open-oriented, adhere to the concept, policy and open mechanism to adapt to the changing situation, recruit good words, to fully listen to suggestions and demands of the community, to encourage the parties to actively participate and integrate, not to engage in exclusive arrangements, governance mechanism to prevent closure and rules fragmented global economic governance should be based on cooperation driven, global challenges require global response, cooperation is the inevitable choice, countries should strengthen communication and coordination, take care of each other interests and concerns, and discuss the rules and build a mechanism, meet challenges of global economic governance should be based on a shared goal, to promote participation of all people, the benefit of all, not to engage in a dominant or winner takes all, but seeking shared interests, to achieve win-win goal.

Under the current situation, global economic governance to seize the following priorities: work together to build a fair, efficient global financial governance pattern, maintaining the overall stability of the world economy, work together to build an open and transparent governance of global trade and investment patterns, consolidating multilateral trading system, the release of global trade and investment potential for cooperation, work together to build global governance pattern of green low-carbon energy, and jointly promote the development of green cooperation, work together to build an inclusive global governance development pattern linked to the implementation of the sustainable development agenda of the United Nations in 2030 as the goal, jointly promote the well-being of all mankind!
