Beijing, People’s Republic of China, 13 September 2010 – In an address at the Opening Plenary of the World Economic Forum’s fourth Annual Meeting of the New Champions, the “Summer Davos”, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said that, while China would maintain its rapid economic expansion and continue efforts to stimulate domestic demand, it is committed to balancing growth with sustainability. “China’s economic growth has provided major development opportunities for multinationals and created huge demand for major economies and neighbouring countries,” Wen noted. “It has become an important engine for the world economic recovery.” China, he pledged, “will continue to conserve resources and protect the environment and raise the efficiency of resource utilization and the capacity to tackle climate change.”
Introduced in 2007, the Annual Meeting of the New Champions is the foremost global business gathering in Asia. Over 1,500 business, government and civil society leaders from 85 countries are participating in the three-day Meeting, which is hosted in partnership with the Government of the People’s Republic of China, represented by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
