Li Keqiang Holds "1+6" Roundtable with Heads of International Economic Organizations

On December 9, 2022, Premier Li Keqiang held the seventh “1+6” Roundtable in Huangshan City, Anhui Province with chiefs of the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the International Labor Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Financial Stability Board. Under the theme of “Strengthening Multilateral Cooperation for Global Common Development,” they had in-depth discussions and exchanges.

Li Keqiang noted that at the critical juncture of the current world economic growth, major economies and major international economic organizations should strengthen macro policy coordination and international cooperation, and strike a balance between preventing inflation and maintaining stable growth. When adjusting macro policies, major economies should take into account their impact on developing economies and work together to safeguard the stability of global economy and finance.

Li Keqiang stressed that China has hosted the dialogue for many years in a row and achieved fruitful cooperation results for a long time. The dialogue in itself is to promote global opening-up through practical actions. China firmly supports international economic organizations in better playing their role as platforms to make the world economy more open.

Leaders of international economic organizations attending the meeting said that they should open up to each other, support international trade and investment cooperation, prevent the fragmentation of the world economy, build a diversified and resilient international industrial chain, and help solve the debt problem of low-income countries.
