China-Xi/Schwab
Beijing, China - April 16, 2018 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland)
1. Chinese President Xi Jinping shaking hands with Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of World Economic Forum (WEF)
2. Various of Xi meeting Schwab with other officials in attendance
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Klause Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Monday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Xi told Schwab that China will cooperate with the international community in opening up and seek win-win results through cooperation.
Xi pointed out that there has appeared a good and turning-for-the-better momentum in the world economy, but there are still many problems that have to be resolved from the roots.
The Chinese president mentioned his trip to Davos last year where he pointed out that the three fundamental contradictions, namely insufficient global growth momentum, lagging global economic governance and imbalance in global development are still prominent.
Xi said that the anti-globalization trend and trade protectionism are heating, exacerbating the risks and uncertainties of the world economy.
The fourth industrial revolution is on the rise, but it involves many risks and challenges, Xi added.
He said there are so many problems and challenges in the world so it is still necessary to respond through equal consultations and strengthened multilateral cooperation.
History has repeatedly proved that isolation can only lead to a dead-end alley, and only by opening up and cooperation, is it possible to make the road ahead wider and wider.
Big countries should bear important and special responsibility in opening up. As a responsible big power, China will play an active role in bringing bright, stable and promising prospects to the world and make more constructive contributions, Xi said.
Xi announced a series of measures to expand China's opening up at the just-concluded annual conference of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA).
Xi said words must be followed by actions and actions must be taken with resolve, noting that it was a solemn commitment to the Chinese people and the people of the world.
While saying China's cooperation with the WEF has coincided with the country's reform and opening-up process, Xi suggested that it is necessary for the two sides to keep pace and advance with the times, strengthen cooperation and work together in pursuit of new driving forces for the global economic growth, and find out practical and feasible proposals to address global challenges.
Schwab said Xi's speech at the WEF annual meeting last year was impressive and highly appreciated worldwide, and that his speech at the opening ceremony of the BFA Annual Conference 2018 also drew global attention.
Schwab said Xi's proposals on building a community with a shared future for mankind and the building of an open world economy have charted the course for cooperation among countries when the economic globalization and the multilateral trade system are facing challenges.
He said the WEF proposed to promote economic globalization and multilateralism, and opposed trade protectionism and unilateralism.
He said the WEF took pride in cooperation with China over the past 40 years and was ready to improve long-term cooperation with China in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative and innovative development.
He said he hoped that the two sides will make joint efforts in strengthening the global governance system and seeking solutions to world problems.
