World should join hands for development: Xi Jinping
President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that countries around the world need to join hands for development, as the global economic recovery lacks momentum.  He made the comments in a welcoming letter read out by Vice Premier He Lifeng at the opening of the China International Import Expo in Shanghai.  "[China] will insist on promoting high-level opening up and globalisation, and develop towards further openness, tolerance, inclusivity, balance and mutual-benefits," He quoted the President as saying. Xi said the Expo – first held in 2018 – serves as a platform for global procurement, outbound investment, cultural exchanges and open cooperation.  He added that he hopes the event will allow China to provide new opportunities to the world.
