"We will continue to carry out diplomatic work in climate change, energy and resource cooperation, and other areas, and play a constructive role in finding proper solutions to hot issues and global problems", said the work report, which was handed out at the Great Hall of the People, where the annual National People's Congress opened at 9am.

China will continue to use the G20 financial summit and other major multilateral activities as platforms to actively participate in the international community and safeguard the interests of developing countries, according to the government work report.

China said it will continue to promote further comprehensive development of its relations with major powers this year, though the bilateral ties between China and the United States have experienced some frictions since the beginning of this year.
