HAMBURG, Germany, July 7 — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday called on members of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies to champion an open world economy and a multilateral trade regime as global growth remains unsteady despite signs of recovery.

Speaking at the annual G20 summit in Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, Xi also called for concerted efforts in fostering new drivers for growth, promoting a more inclusive growth and improving global economic governance.

“We must remain committed to openness and mutual benefit for all so as to increase the size of the global economic ‘pie’,” said Xi, who is at the helm of the world’s second-largest economy.

OPEN ECONOMY

This year’s G20 summit, scheduled for Friday and Saturday and themed “Shaping an Interconnected World,” comes as global growth continues to gather momentum and both developed countries and emerging-market economies show stronger economic performance.
