President Xi Jinping's remarks at the 15th G20 Leaders' Summit have been constructive and of practical significance, delivering a message of hope and offering solutions to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, experts have said.

Xi put forward a set of proposals for the G20's role in the post-COVID international order and global governance in his speech, delivering "a message of hope" to the meeting, which was hosted by Saudi Arabia via video link on Saturday and Sunday, said William Jones, Washington bureau chief of the US publication Executive Intelligence Review.

The Chinese president "pointed to the fact that the onset of COVID-19 had clearly demonstrated the flaws in our international mechanisms", and called for a new governance architecture that provides "a more just and equal world order", all of which "allow the world to better deal with such crises that threaten all of mankind", said Jones.
