Wang champions multilateralism

'Amid growing downturn risk, world faces instability,' he says at G20 meeting in Japan

The Group of 20 should take the lead in championing multilateralism and the operation of multilateral mechanisms should not be thwarted for selfish gains, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday.

Wang made the remarks while addressing the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Nagoya, the last major event hosted under the 2019 Japanese presidency of the group.
