BERLIN, June 8 - Leaders of five major developing countries met here
Thursday to discuss the world economy, climate change and other key
issues ahead of a meeting with leaders of the Group of Eight (G8)
industrialized nations.
Attending the meeting were Chinese President Hu Jintao, Brazilian
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Mexican President Felipe Calderon,
South African President Thabo Mbeki and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh.
The leaders will also hold "an outreach session" with their counterparts
of the G8 countries on Friday in Heiligendamm, a Baltic resort town in
northern Germany.
On the world economy, the Chinese president said developing countries
should "cooperate with each other to jointly cope with the risks of
economic globalization, safeguard our common interests, create favorable
conditions for our development and promote coordinated global
development."
On climate change, Hu said China gives high priority to environmental
protection and sustainable development.
"We follow the scientific thinking of development which is
people-oriented and calls for all-round, coordinated and sustainable
development," he said.
China strictly complies with relevant international conventions and has
taken a series of measures to contribute to mitigating the impact of
global climate change, he said.
To more effectively tackle climate change, Hu said, the Chinese
government has adopted a national climate change program.
"We will fully implement this program. In so doing, we are not only
living up to our responsibilities for our own people, but also
contributing our share to the global cause of sustainable development,"
he said.
The leaders from the five nations pledged to abide by the principle of
"common but differentiated responsibilities" while tackling climate
change and urged developed nations to take the lead in reducing
greenhouse gas emission.
On the Doha round of trade talks, the leaders said efforts should be made
to conclude the negotiations at an early date and the results should
reflect the interests and concerns of developing countries. They also
urged developed nations to reduce subsidies for agricultural products and
lower import tariffs.
On the development issue, the leaders vowed to continue efforts in
eradicating hunger and poverty and urged developed nations to honor their
commitments on aid and help developing countries achieve the UN
Millennium Development Goals.
Developing countries should participate in decision-making and actions in
a more active attitude so as to meet various challenges in this
inter-dependent world, the leaders said in a communique issued after the
meeting.
On the issues to be discussed with G8 countries, the leaders said they
saw opportunities for cooperation in cross-border investment, research
and innovation, climate change, energy and development.
All of these challenges "must be addressed from multi-lateral, regional
and bilateral perspectives and the interests and capabilities of
different countries should be taken into consideration," the document
said.
