Wen says nation will strive for goals

COPENHAGEN: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao vowed the country is determined to deliver a notable reduction in carbon intensity even if today (the final day of two-week UN climate change conference) sees no positive outcomes.

Wen and his colleagues have been working against the clock in recent days, through telephone diplomacy and meetings, in an attempt to move forward the negotiation agenda.

"I know there are still some obstacles ahead but no matter what outcomes this Friday sees, China is determined to achieve its goal of cutting carbon intensity," said Wen during his flight to Copenhagen on Wednesday.
