Global South's support for multilateralism, open economy key for G20 Summit
China DailyThe 19th G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will count on the strong and consistent support of Global South countries to ensure the survival of multilateralism and an open global economy. President Xi Jinping's scheduled participation in the G20 Summit in Brazil highlights China's firm support for multilateralism and underscores its high regard for G20 cooperation. China's commitment to an open world economy has been tested over the past decades, and the China-proposed Global Development Initiative sheds light on global governance and G20's solution for sustainable development. China's support for the G20 will help it to continue to serve as a primary forum for international economic cooperation and as a bulwark against the economic curse of protectionism.
