G-20 summit should be about economics, not politics: China

Beijing

THE Group of 20 (G-20) summit to be hosted by China this year should be about economics and not political issues such as territorial disputes, China's foreign minister said on Friday, firing a warning shot ahead of the country's biggest diplomatic event of the year.

The summit, expected to be held in early September in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, will gather major world leaders - such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama - together.
