（Xinhua photo） Chinese President Xi Jinping's latest visit to Russia and Germany contributed to promoting China's relations with Russia and Germany, and his attendance of Group of 20 (G20) summit enhanced cooperation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Saturday. Xi payed state visits to Russia and Germany on July 3-6, and attended the G20 summit in Hamburg on July 7-8.
Amid rising anti-globalization and protectionist sentiments, leaders attending the 12th G20 summit here should seize the chance to safeguard multilateralism and free trade while tackling global economic imbalances in an efficient and fair way.
Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Thursday with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in on the sidelines of the upcoming 12th summit of G20 in Hamburg, Germany, the first in-person meeting between them since Moon took office in May. Just as expected, the issue of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, regarded as the biggest problem in Beijing-Seoul ties, tops the agenda of the meeting.
"Panda diplomacy" has again taken the spotlight as the Panda Garden at Zoo Berlin was officially opened on Wednesday.
