"Presently the world economy is recovering slowly. Terrorism is on the rise and climate change is an acute challenge. There is more instability and uncertainty on the international stage,” Xi said.
“Against this backdrop it's very important for China and the United States to be firmly committed, to building a new model of major country relations, following the principle of non-confrontation and non-conflict, mutual respect and win-win cooperation, and carrying forward practical exchanges and cooperation at the bilateral, regional and global levels."

Obama said: "The United States and China also come here with a common vision for what's needed in a Paris agreement, including moving toward a low carbon global economy this century, enhancing transparency to build trust and robust financial support to help developing countries adapt. And here in Paris we will be working together to try and deliver on that issue."
