ON BUILDING A HUMAN COMMUNITY WITH A SHARED FUTURE

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Friends,
The business community is the main force for driving growth.
By convening the B20 Summit on the eve of the G20 Summit, China
wishes to fully pool the ideas and wisdom of the business community.
I am pleased to see that business people from all G20 countries have
played an active part in the G20 process throughout the year. Together
with stakeholders from other sectors, you have presented your views
and suggestions on financial support for growth, trade, and investment,
infrastructure, SME development, employment, and anti-corruption,
as well as various other G20 priorities. You have made important
recommendations for G20 policymaking and contributed positively to
the Hangzhou Summit.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Friends,
These past few days, the tidal bore has been sweeping up the
Qiantang River. This spectacular is memorialized in an ancient Chinese
poem which reads, “The tide-riders mount the wave’s crest; the red
flags they grip not once getting wet.” I, like all of you, look forward to
a G20 that will ride the tides of the world economy. I believe that, with
everyone working together, the Hangzhou Summit is certain to be a
success.
Finally, I want to wish the B20 Summit every success.
Thank you.
