Hu pointed out that the G20 should strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination, and promote progress and innovation in science and technology.
The G20, he said, should also implement the quota and governance reform of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), strengthen international financial supervision, and improve the international monetary system.
At the same time, Hu said, the G20 should oppose all forms of protectionism and continue to push forward the Doha Round negotiations.
In regard to the serious sovereign debt crisis in some European countries, Hu pointed out that since the European Union is the largest economy in the world, maintaining financial stability and economic recovery in the EU is of great significance to realizing recovery and growth of the world economy.
