FOURTHLY, STRENGTHENING OF COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION ON MAJOR INTERNATIONAL ISSUES

The ASEAN plus Three countries should enhance communication and coordination on major international issues, such as climate change, and push major international conferences to produce positive outcomes, Wen said.

China hopes that next month's Seoul summit of the Group of 20 nations, the first to be held in an Asian country, will achieve positive results in promoting global economic recovery and growth, reform of international financial institutions, international financial supervision and regulation and opposing trade protectionism, he said.

These countries should intensify dialogue and cooperation to promote a full, effective and sustained implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol, call on the development nations to honor their commitment of providing financial and technological support to developing countries, and ensure the Cancun conference to achieve positive outcomes, he said.

"We also need to enhance coordination and work for the success of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit soon to be held in Yokohama," the premier said.

Wen arrived in Vietnam on Thursday for a series of summits between the 10 ASEAN countries and their partners.
