Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday urged members of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies to cooperate more in education, training, employment, business start-up and wealth distribution-related mechanisms.

"Progress on these fronts will make economic globalization work better," he said at the annual G20 summit in Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany.

This year's summit, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, is themed "Shaping an Interconnected World."
