[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China deeply regrets the failure to issue a communiqué at the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting] September 2, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference on September 2. A reporter asked: It is understood that at the second meeting of the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors held from August 31 to September 1, due to China’s different views on global imbalances, the meeting was unable to issue a communiqué. What is China’s comment 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 a major forum for international economic cooperation. Since the United States took over the presidency of the G20 in 2026, China has actively and constructively participated in discussions on relevant issues through various channels, including financial channels, to promote the G20 to achieve practical results. We have noticed that all parties held different views on relevant issues at the just-held meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors. China deeply regrets that the meeting was unable to issue a communiqué. As the main platform for international economic cooperation, the G20 should coordinate on important global economic issues in an objective, fair and balanced manner based on the principles of consensus and equal participation. China hopes that the United States, as the host country and all members, will abide by this principle, fully respect the reasonable concerns of all parties, and promote the 2026 Miami Summit to achieve positive results. "China is willing to work with the United States to implement the important consensus reached at the meeting between the two heads of state, and work with all members to promote the G20 to play an active role in deepening macroeconomic policy coordination, improving global economic governance, and promoting world economic growth." Guo Jiakun said. (Beijing Daily)
