LEADERS of the G20 nations puma basket heart patent dame , the world’s biggest developed and emerging economies, have agreed to oppose protectionism, President Xi Jinping said yesterday.
“We have agreed ... to support the multilateral trade system and oppose protectionism,” he said after hosting the G20 summit in Hangzhou.
Freer trade poses a dilemma for the leaders of several countries puma basket heart tilbud , who have to contend with rising populism and a perception that the global economic order exemplified by the G20 is not working for ordinary people.
Xi said that relying only on fiscal and monetary policy for growth would not work.
“We need to reignite the engine of growth via innovation,” he said, adding that the G20 had adopted “guiding principles” for investment policy management.
“It is the world’s first framework of multilateral investment rules,” he said without giving details.
Leaders at the G20 summit have tried to walk a fine line — acknowledge anti-globalization anger while arguing that ever more liberal trade is the cure for sluggish economies.
“The feeling of the G20 is that if we do not address the question of fairness puma basket heart danmark , it will endanger global governance as we know it,” a senior European diplomat told reporters.
G20 leaders sought to put a gentler face on global trade, touting its benefits in lifting millions out of poverty, while acknowledging that too many had been left behind.
Germany’s Angela Merkel best illustrated the delicate approach adidas superstar foundation sort , calling for the system to be made fairer but also speaking out against the temptation to look inward, with “protectionist measures that put the brakes on growth.”
“The fight against inequality is an important theme, to firmly connect growth and social justice,” Merkel said.
French President Francois Hollande said: “France is for globalization but on condition that it is regulated adidas superstar sort og guld , that there are principles, standards, particularly for the environment, for society.”
US President Obama came to the summit to advocate his two signature trade deals for the European Union and Asia-Pacific. But at home his party’s nominee Hillary Clinton has disowned the policies adidas superstar slip on sort , which stand to lose her votes.
For opponents of free trade, there is no bigger target than the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership which Washington wants to finalize before Obama steps down in January.
Activists have criticized it since negotiations began in 2013, believing it will give big business unfair benefits and allow multinationals to escape regulation through the backdoor.
Obama admitted before the G20 summit that there was a “reaction” to globalization and that people were “absolutely right” to worry about inequality, but insisted: “The answer is not to pull up the drawbridge.”
With a note of regret echoed by other leaders at the summit adidas superstar hvid dame , he said governments should provide better benefits and protections for workers, as “unfortunately we haven’t done enough of that.”
Many working class citizens in developed countries believe the benefits from globalization have flowed disproportionately to the wealthy, educated and mobile, while their own incomes have stagnated.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau set the pace when he arrived in Hangzhou adidas superstar hvid og guld , saying leaders must push back against a tide of protectionism and nationalism.
Trudeau did not explicitly reference Donald Trump’s populist campaign for the US presidency, but alluded to the Republican nominee’s platform as he argued for the benefits of free trade.
“We know that building walls ... does not create opportunity, growth, or benefits for the middle class.”
PYONGYANG, April 10 (Xinhua) -- The 29th Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon took place Sunday here in Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), with more than 1,000 foreigners and around 800 local runners taking part.
This year's marathon features three categories: the full course, the half course and a 10-kilometer recreation run. But the limit for the full course remains the same as last year, which is four hours, and half marathon runners need to finish in three hours.
The starting and finishing point this year was temporarily changed to the Mayday Stadium on Rungnado Island because Kim Il Sung Stadium where last year's event started was under renovation. But the route remains similar to that last year, with four circles running through the Taedong River and each around 10,000 meters.
Supplement stations were set up each 5,000 meters to provide water and bananas. There were no strict regulations banning the use of certain electronic devices. Foreign runners were seen taking selfies and photos of Pyongyang's spring scenery, and even some used GoPro versatile camera to record some of the wonderful moments.
The marathon, which was named after Mangyongdae, the birthplace of late supreme leader Kim Il Sung, was part of a spate of celebrating events to mark the Day of Sun on April 15, the birthday anniversary of Kim Il Sung.
The marathon not only is a good chance to experience the fun of running, but offers an opportunity for overseas tourists to have a sort of close contact with local residents in the DPRK. Pyongyang citizens lined on the two sides of the street to give applaud to the participants, encouraging them to carry on and not fall by the wayside. Foreign amateurs at times would give them a high-five and local folks were glad to respond.
The Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon used to be designated by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) as a bronze-label road race until 2014 when the fears of the Ebola epidemic forced Pyongyang to scale down the race, which made it no longer an IAAF-accredited event.
Pyongyang marathon was first held as early as 1981. Since 2014 when the Pyongyang marathon started to accept registration from foreig.
