China stresses true multilateralism at G20 FMs’ meeting amid US attempt to split bloc over Russia-Ukraine conflict

China stressed the significance of true multilateralism, openness and inclusiveness within the framework of G20 at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting on Friday, with Chinese observers saying China's stance reflected the voices of developing countries and emerging economies in seeking equal and joint efforts in tackling acute global challenges amid a US-led small bloc's attempt to split the G20 by inciting confrontation between camps over the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 

In a speech at the G20 foreign ministers' meeting held in the Indonesian resort island of Bali, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for upholding true multilateralism, carrying out win-win cooperation, and achieving inclusiveness and connectivity within the framework of the G20. 

In addition to China, many G20 members including current G20 presidency holder Indonesia and the UN highlighted multilateralism at Friday's event. 

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that safeguarding multilateralism and carrying out effective cooperation are the only way to address global challenges.
