Economic globalization has made important contributions to the world economy's development, and it has become an irreversible historical trend, Xi said.

China will continue to play the role of a responsible major country, proactively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and inject Chinese power to the reform of the global governance system, Xi said.

The international community should take a path of reform, opening-up, innovation and development rather than a backward way of stubbornness, protectionism and unilateralism, Xi added.

The business leaders spoke highly of China's achievements in reform and opening-up, and they appreciated China's contribution to global economic growth. They appreciated China's efforts to support economic globalization and oppose trade protectionism.
