JEDDAH — The agenda of the G20 summit that will begin Sunday in the Turkish city of Antalya has 10 major topics including investment, employment, trade, financial system, construction, international finance, taxes, combating corruption, development, energy and climate change. The Kingdom has launched a number of initiatives that figure on the G20 summit agenda. The Council of Ministers recently approved the establishment of a number of commissions for small enterprises, for job creation, for development and improving investment environment. It also approved a national plan to reduce carbon emissions. Meanwhile, China's Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyou said on Saturday that events such as the attacks in Paris made it crucial for the world's top economies to stand strong and enhance their solidarity when they meet at the G20 summit this weekend in Turkey. "While we recognize the risks posed by terrorism and its great negative impact on economic development we must make our due response to that." Zhu told a news conference in Belek, southwest Turkey, speaking through an interpreter. "We must work together, we must enhance our solidarity." G20 leaders will meet at a working dinner on Sunday to discuss terrorism and migration. A statement on fighting terrorism is to be issued after the dinner, Russian officials said earlier. Zhu said it would be decided together with other G20 members whether the fight against terrorism was added to the agenda of the group when China takes over its presidency in 2016. "It is of special significance for us to ensure the success of the Antalya G20 summit, as strong, balanced and sustainable growth is surely in the interest of not only the G20 but also of every country in the world," Zhu said. "It will be of important economic and political significance for us to ensure the sustainable, balanced and strong economic growth, and also deliver on the UN pledge that by the year 2030 poverty should be eradicated worldwide, because we believe this will eliminate the soil that breeds terrorism." — With agencies
