Per capita GDP to reach $3,000 in 15 years (Chinadaily.com.cn/Xinhua) Updated: 2005-10-15 12:40 G20 urged to enhance dialogue with other economic
institutions
President Hu urged the G20 members to enhance dialogue with other
international and regional economic institutions to boost global development.
"In light of the current international context, G20 members must engage in
flexible and pragmatic dialogues on the basis of equality and mutual benefits,
seeking common grounds while shelving differences," Hu said.
He also urged the G20 members to "increase exchanges and cooperation with
other regional and international economic institutions to build trust, expand
consensus and coordinate actions."
Such moves, he said, will enable the G20 members to play bigger and more
active roles that can have a real impact on ameliorating the international
trading systems and rules, improving the international economic and financial
structures, enhancing North-South dialogue and cooperation and facilitating
global efforts in poverty reduction and development.
The G20 mechanism has included in its members the primary players of both the
developed and developing countries as well as those in transition.
The G20 members account for two thirds of the world total population, over 90
percent of the world's gross domestic product and 80 percent foreign trade.
"All this has made it (the G20 mechanism) a widely representative and
influential international economic forum," Hu said.
