President Hu
Jintao, together with heads of state from India, Brazil, Mexico and South
Africa, joined in calling for more consideration for developing countries.
At the outreach session of the G8 summit with the five major developing
countries, Hu said: "Together, we (G8+5) account for about 75 per cent of the
global economy. We can do a great service to the balanced and sustained
development of the world economy if we do a good job with our own economies."
"To this end, we should commit ourselves to adopting effective fiscal and
monetary policies, readjusting our economic structures and promoting balanced
and sustained development of the world economy," Hu said.
The G8 Summit, featuring Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the
United States and Russia, and its outreach session with developing countries,
focused on the world economy and global climate change.
The G8 meeting has agreed on the text of a communique on combating global
warming, German negotiator Bernd Pfaffenbach told reporters.
He said they had agreed to try to reduce greenhouse
gases by promoting cleaner technology and energy efficiency. No specific targets
were mentioned in the text.
