China, as the world's biggest developing nation, has spared no efforts in defending the interests of developing nations, the minister said.

Fifthly, Hu's visit promotes bilateral relations with some countries, Yang said.

In London, Hu held talks with his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama in the first meeting between the two heads of state since the new U.S. administration took office in January, agreeing to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship in the 21st century and establish a new "China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue" mechanism.
