Glasgow Nov 3 United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres spoke highly of Chinese President Xi Jinping's proposals of upholding multilateral consensus, focusing on concrete actions and accelerating the green transition to address global climate change.

Guterres made positive comments on Monday on Xi's written statement for the World Leaders Summit at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change when he held talks with Xie Zhenhua, Special Representative of Xi and China's Special Envoy for Climate Change, and Zhao Yingmin, Head of the Chinese delegation to COP26 and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
