G20 members urged to offer political guidance

President Xi Jinping called on the Group of 20 countries on Saturday to stay committed to open, inclusive and rules-based international trade so as to allow the G20 - a major forum for global economic governance - to play a key role in creating a favorable environment for international trade.

Xi spoke at the plenary session on the second day of the G20 Leaders' Summit, which wrapped up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Saturday with a declaration on building a consensus for fair and sustainable development.

He also called on the G20 nations to join hands to deal with climate change, noting that it presents a major challenge for humanity.
