TIANJIN -- Former French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius said most world problems could not be solved by only one or two countries, and the notion of a China-US "G2" raised by some was "largely an illusion."

Speaking at the ongoing 8th Euro-China Forum held in the northern port city of Tianjin Tuesday, Fabius said the world faced a financial crisis as well as terrorism, world poverty and nuclear proliferation, which all required a multilateral approach.

Fabius advocated the transfer of green technologies from Europe to China to help the country better address its environmental issues.

Seven Euro-China forums were previously held in six European countries, which had contributed to Sino-EU cooperation, said David Gosset, founder of the Forum.
