On November 27, 2009, Premier of the State Council Wen Jiabao met in Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai with the foreign delegates and the G77 representatives attending the ministerial coordination meeting on climate change of the BASIC countries - Brazil, South Africa, India and China.

Wen said that climate change is an issue related with national development and human survival and needs to be tackled through international cooperation. The Chinese government has formulated the targets of actions and a series of policy measures to control greenhouse gas emissions in line with our own national conditions and long-term interest and in the spirit of being highly responsible for the welfare of people all over the world. Being fully demonstrated, our targets are scientific and realistic. Our commitment made on our own is solemn and serious and great efforts are required to achieve the targets.

He pointed out that developing countries hold identical interest on tackling climate change. The Chinese side attaches great importance to the consultation mechanism of the four BASIC countries and is willing to strengthen coordination with the G77 and work with all relevant parties to consolidate consensus, reinforce cooperation and advance the Copenhagen conference in the correct direction in order to achieve fair, reasonable and realizable outcomes.

The foreign delegates spoke highly of China’s actions of coping with climate change and achievements made to date and said that developing countries should step up coordination, maintain common interest and make contributions to handling climate change and realizing sustainable development.
