"This meeting was held in a positive atmosphere, expected results were achieved, and it was a complete success. The meeting became a good training ground at the trade and economic front for the G20 summit which will be held in September this year," Gao told reporters speaking on the results of the two-day meeting that wrapped up in the Chinese city of Shanghai earlier in the day.
The G20 trade growth strategy has been adopted as a result of the meeting, along with recommendations on the global investment policy, as well as the decision to establish a Working Group on Trade and Investment.
"It is fair to say that the reached agreements are the result of China's efforts, as well as the outcome resulted from the solidarity and the coordination between the G20 countries," the Chinese commerce minister said.
The G20 is an international forum for the world's 20 biggest economies. Its participants include the United States, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom, among others.
