The 18th G20 Summit, scheduled this year in New Delhi, India from September 9 to 10, adopted a theme of "One Earth · One Family · One Future."
At the invitation of the government of the Republic of India, Premier of China's State Council Li Qiang will attend the summit.
As the world's main forum for international economic cooperation, the G20 initially focused largely on broad macroeconomic issues, but has since expanded its agenda to trade, sustainable development, health, agriculture, energy, environment, climate change and anti-corruption.
In recent years, the G20 has reached more consensus and cooperation on sustainability through embracing the digital economy and green finance. China has been playing an active role in accelerating this process.
At the G20 Summit in Hangzhou in 2016, China introduced the digital economy to G20's agenda for the first time, proposing to innovate development models and explore new growth drivers, which won widespread support among leaders and entrepreneurs at the summit.
China proposed the G20 Action Plan on Digital Innovation and Cooperation at last year's G20 Summit in Bali, which is aimed at promoting the innovative application of digital technology and making innovation outcomes beneficial to all and shared by all, welcoming the participation of all parties.
Also, at this year's G20 Digital Economy Ministers' Meeting concluded on August 19 in Bengaluru, India, China urged bridging of the digital divide and promoting digital connectivity. The meeting affirmed the advancement of G20 members' collective efforts to build an enabling, inclusive, open, fair, non-discriminatory, and secure digital economy.
To promote sustainable development, China has been guiding the international market to provide financial support to address climate change.
In 2016, China issued an initiative for developing Green Finance under the G20 framework, which helped Green Finance be included in the G20 agenda for the first time.
Under Italy's 2021 G20 presidency, China and other members of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG), with the goal of scaling up sustainable finance that supports the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and goals of the Paris Agreement, has developed the G20 Sustainable Finance Roadmap.
At the Bali summit, China stressed the importance of providing funding, technology and capacity-building support for developing countries and promoting cooperation on green finance.
The G20 comprises 19 countries and the European Union. Its members represent around 85 percent of the global GDP, over 75 percent of the global trade, and about two-thirds of the world population.
The G20 Summit is held annually, under the leadership of a rotating Presidency.
