State leaders and their spouses in Hangzhou for the G20 Summit enjoyed a feast for the eyes on Sunday night with a gala on the city's much-storied West Lake.
As the G20 throws the spotlight on global anti-corruption efforts, China has released fresh data on its progress in capturing former officials accused of fleeing abroad with billions in public money.
Leaders of BRICS countries on Sunday urged the International Monetary Fund to reassign quota and voting rights to ensure that the IMF "fairly" reflects the "status of emerging markets and developing countries".
Editor's note: Sunday marked the third day of President Xi Jinping's busy schedule of bilateral meetings with leaders attending the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Following are highlights of some of the two-way talks:
China and Russia should firmly support each other's efforts to safeguard sovereignty, security and development interests, President Xi Jinping said on Sunday.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Sunday that he "really appreciates" China's effort to invite the largest number of developing countries ever to attend a G20 Summit.
A top European official on Sunday said it was urgent to resolve the global issue of overcapacity, and he pressured China to take action to avoid costing European jobs - a connection some analysts said was "exaggerated".
China and the European Union should focus on structural reforms, growth-friendly fiscal policies and more collaboration under the G20 framework as they look to achieve long-term growth, according to a senior official of the European Commission.
Before her first visit to China on Sunday to attend the G20 Summit, Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May reiterated that "this is a golden era for UK-China relations".
Hangzhou has always been the playground for Chinese princes and poets through the centuries. We can now add global politicians to that august list.
Despite warm relations between Moscow and Beijing, Vladimir Putin brought a chilly gift for his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping as they met on the sidelines of the G20 Summit Sunday: a tub of ice cream.
