BEIJIN, Dec 12, (bdnews24.com/Reuters) - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will attend U.N. climate change talks in Copenhagen on Dec. 17-18, the Foreign Ministry said, firming up dates for his previously announced trip. The ministry gave no other details in a brief statement issued on its website (www.mfa.gov.cn) late on Friday. Wen will be there at the end of the meeting, joining US President Barack Obama, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. A rift between rich and poor nations has stalled the Dec 7-18 climate talks in the Danish capital, which aim to agree a new global pact to fight warming. China on Friday attacked a top US envoy as either "extremely irresponsible" or lacking in common sense, for saying at the summit that no US climate aid would go to China.
