NEW YORK, 20 April, 2021 (TON): The cooperation between China and the United States is important, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on while expressing hope that big countries will commit to net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by the middle of this century.
Antonio remarked at a press conference to launch the State of the Global Climate in 2020 Report when responding to a question regarding the joint statement issued Sunday by China and the United States on coping with climate change after talks in Shanghai.
He said, "The China-U.S. cooperation is vital. It was vital for the Paris Agreement. It remains vital today, together with other important partners."
The statement was issued after talks between Xie Zhenhua, China's special envoy for climate change affairs and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry from Thursday to Friday in Chinese city of Shanghai.
