BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with all parties to comprehensively implement the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and promote the building of a fair and reasonable global climate governance system for win-win cooperation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Thursday.

Guo Jiakun made the remarks at a regular briefing, commenting on the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the obligations of states with respect to climate change. On July 23, the International Court affirmed that the UNFCCC system is the primary legal instrument guiding international efforts to address the global problem of climate change, and clearly outlined the rights and obligations of countries under international environmental law. Several states said this marked a critical moment in advancing global climate justice.

“The Chinese side noted that the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice stated that the UNFCCC system is the main legal instrument regulating international efforts to address the global problem of climate change, and also confirmed that the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, the principle of sustainable development and the principle of equity serve as guiding principles for the interpretation and application of relevant international law,” the official representative said.

Guo Jiakun noted that the conclusion emphasizes the leading role of developed countries in combating climate change and the commitment of states to strengthen international cooperation. According to the Chinese diplomat, the conclusion reflects the long-standing position and approach of developing countries, including China, which has positive implications for maintaining and promoting international climate cooperation.

China actively participated in the preparation of this advisory opinion, Guo Jiakun emphasized. The diplomat pointed out that, as the largest developing country, China is a staunch supporter and important participant in green development, and is actively and confidently working to realize its goals of achieving peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality.

"We will achieve the world's largest reduction in carbon intensity and move from peak emissions to carbon neutrality in the shortest time in world history," Guo Jiakun said.

At the same time, China's high-quality and low-cost clean energy technologies and products greatly reduce the costs of the global green and low-carbon transition, the official noted, adding that China also provides maximum assistance to other developing countries through South-South cooperation channels.

No matter how the world changes, China will not slow down its actions to combat climate change, will not reduce its support for international cooperation, and will not stop its efforts to build a community with a shared future for mankind, Guo Jiakun said. –0–

BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday called on China and the European Union to expand trade and investment ties to enhance the resilience and vitality of both sides' economies and better cope with external uncertainties.

Li Qiang made the announcement at a China-EU entrepreneurs' symposium at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, which was also attended by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Speaking to about 60 business leaders, Li Qiang stressed that cooperation is the only right choice for China and the EU, noting that the bilateral trade and economic cooperation has shown strong internal vigor in the half-century since the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Facing rising protectionism and unilateralism, China and Europe can become a bulwark of stability for economic globalization and international supply chains by advocating free trade and multilateralism and engaging in closer economic and trade cooperation, the premier said.

Li Qiang proposed that both sides focus on areas such as trade in services, scientific and technological innovation, green economy and cooperation with third parties, building a relationship of healthy competition and cooperation.

He called on enterprises from both sides to adhere to an open attitude, closely align their needs and deepen cooperation in areas such as industrial investment, market expansion and joint research and development.

The Chinese leader assured that China will continue to expand high-level opening-up, shorten the negative list for foreign investment, strengthen intellectual property protection and ensure fair competition.

"We invite more European enterprises to invest in China and develop in an all-round way in China," Li Qiang said, calling on the EU in turn to provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises investing in Europe.

W. von der Leyen, for her part, noted that China is not only a major industrial power, but also achieves outstanding results in the field of innovation.

According to her, the European Union hopes to take advantage of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations to deepen a long-term, stable and mutually beneficial partnership with China.

She pointed out that the EU intends to strengthen cooperation with China in areas such as trade and investment, jointly promote the stability of industrial and supply chains, properly resolve differences and create a favorable environment for cooperation and business.

The EU has no intention of cutting ties with China and welcomes investment and activities by Chinese companies in Europe, the head of the European Commission added. –0–
