"China expects the G20 Summit in Rome to insist on true multilateralism, enhance the spirit of partnership, send a positive signal on improving global governance and promoting inclusive and sustainable development, to lead the world in overcoming as soon as possible of the epidemic and make a positive contribution to the global economic recovery ". The

Chinese ambassador in Rome Li Junhua

writes in

a letter to ANSA

. "The Italian presidency has proposed three key words, 'people, planet and prosperity'. This coincides exactly with the objectives launched by China", notes the ambassador. 

The ambassador recalls that the objectives launched by Beijing are aimed "at putting people at the center, at building a human community with a shared future and at implementing a new concept of development. Currently, the global fight against the pandemic and the global economic recovery are taking place. they are both in a crucial period ". "In the first place - writes Li Junhua - it

is necessary to deepen cooperation and make every possible effort to fight the pandemic

. Since its outbreak globally, the Chinese people have been in the same boat as the peoples of other countries and have fought alongside them. So far, more than 1.4 billion doses of vaccine and mother solutions have been provided to more than one hundred countries and international organizations, to support the fight against the epidemic in developing countries. President Xi Jinping announced that this year China will provide the rest of the world with 2 billion doses of the vaccine and, in addition to the donation of 100 million dollars to the Covax program, within the year it will give another 100 million doses to countries free of charge. developing.

China - underlines the ambassador - expects Italy to lead the G20 countries so that together they can give a scientific response to the pandemic, taking concrete actions to improve the accessibility and convenience of vaccines, guaranteeing their equitable distribution, avoiding tightening the 'immune gap' and building a human health community together ".

"Secondly - continues the diplomat - it is necessary to connect firmly and promote global economic recovery. Faced with the continuing impact of the epidemic, all parties, including the G20 member countries, consider accelerating the recovery a priority. Currently, the world economy is showing a good rebound trend and the International Monetary Fund has raised the forecast for this year of the growth rate of world GDP to around 6%.

In the first half of the year, the GDP of China and Italy grew by 12.7% and 8.9%, respectively, and annual growth should come in at 8.4% and 6%, indicating that the two countries' economic recovery plans have achieved first results

. However, it should also be noted that the global economic recovery process still lacks stability and equilibrium, the 'recovery temperature gap' between north and south is gradually widening and most emerging economies and developing countries still have ahead of a long road full of obstacles. China expects the G20, as the main platform driving international economic cooperation, to focus on promoting and strengthening macro-political coordination, protecting free trade and multilateral trading systems, actively maintaining the stability of the industrial chain supply chain and the promotion of stability, balance and full recovery of the world economy ".

"Thirdly - continues Li - it is necessary to

gather consensus and effectively promote sustainable development

. Pursuing a balance between economic growth and environmental protection is the common aspiration of all parties, so the full implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the acceleration of green and low carbon development should be one of the highlights of the G20 summit. in Rome. Recently, at the 76th United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping solemnly presented the 'Global Development Initiatives', announcing that China will strongly support developing countries in realizing green and low-carbon development. carbon and will no longer carry new coal-fired energy projects overseas. This is a 'another important initiative taken independently by China to respond to global climate change and is another positive contribution to building a beautiful and clean world ".

"

The G20 should continue to place development at the heart of global macropolitical coordination

- suggests the diplomat -, engaging in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, paying greater attention to the demands of developing countries, adhering to the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities, equity and respective capacities and giving full political support at COP15 and COP26 "." Great upheavals show the true nature of heroes. In 2008, when the international economic and financial crisis erupted, the G20 accepted a mission at a critical moment, supporting the spirit of collaboration of those in the same boat and putting the world economy back on track. In 2021, faced with the intertwining of changes never seen in a century and a global pandemic,China truly hopes that the G20 member countries will bring together the wisdom and reap the benefits, forming a strong synergy with all stakeholders and ushering in a new path for the future development and cooperation of the world ", concludes the ambassador of the People's Republic Chinese.
