Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 2. Some reporters asked questions. According to information, at the second G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting held from August 31 to September 1, the meeting failed to issue a communiqué because China had different opinions on global imbalances. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Guo Jiakun said that China is an important member of the G20 and attaches great importance to the role of the G20 as the main forum for international economic cooperation. Since the US took over the G20 presidency in 2026, China has actively and constructively participated in discussions on relevant issues through various channels, including financial channels, to push the G20 to achieve practical results. We have noticed that at the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting just held, all parties had different views on related issues. The Chinese side deeply regrets that the meeting was unable to issue a communiqué. As the main platform for international economic cooperation, the G-20 should coordinate important issues in the global economy in an objective, fair and balanced manner based on the principles of consensus and equal participation. China expects the United States, as its presidency, and all members to abide by this principle, fully respect the legitimate concerns of all parties, and push for positive results at the 2026 Miami summit. “China is ready to work with the US to implement the important consensus reached at the meeting between the heads of state of the two countries, and to work with all members to push the G20 to play a positive role in deepening macroeconomic policy coordination, improving global economic governance, and promoting world economic growth.” Guo Jiakun said.
