Beijing said on Monday it welcomes the international system the Group of Seven advocated in a recent communique if such a system is in accord with what most countries are calling for.
An overwhelming majority of the members of the international community call for rules of international relations to be based on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a daily news conference.
They also stand for a multilateral system centered around the UN, including a multilateral trading system based on World Trade Organization rules, Lu said.
