China: Meeting G20 pledge is key to IMF funding

China's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the world's leading economic powers should honour a pledge to ensure the International Monetary Fund has sufficient resources to fight financial crises.

"In principle, we believe that the task is to implement the consensus reached at the Cannes G20 summit to strive together to ensure that the IMF has ample funds to cope with the current financial crisis," foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin told a regular news conference. (Reuters)
