TIANJIN - China's top climate official has pledged that his country will continue to play a "constructive role" in advancing the process of international climate change negotiations.

Xie Zhenhua, deputy chief of the National Development and Reform Commission, made the vow at a press conference on Monday on the sidelines of the United Nations climate meeting in Tianjin.

China has made suggestions or recommendations on all issues relating to climate change, ranging from adaptation to the financing mechanism, Xie said.

And China is working actively with developing countries and has also established smooth dialogue channels with major developed countries, he noted.

"Both the US and China are major promoting forces in accelerating the international negotiations on climate change," Xie said.

"However, neither of the two countries is a decisive factor in the whole process because this is a matter for all countries across the world under the international framework."

All countries should share one thought and join hands to do their share in promoting the whole process, he added.
