Cameron urges China to cooperate with the Group of Twenty and the expansion of freedoms

BEIJING (AFP) - British Prime Minister has urged David Cameron China Wednesday to work closely with the Group of Twenty to expand political freedoms and in the last day of a trade mission to China was overshadowed by human rights issues.

Cameron said that China's cooperation with the Group of Twenty in the area of trade and currency "contribute significantly" to the stability of the global economy, but warned of "serious wave transmission of money from one side to another in the world."

Cameron's comments came in a speech at Beijing University on the eve of the summit the leaders of 20 rich and emerging economies in Seoul, which is scheduled to be dominated by the issue of economic imbalance between China and the United States and the war of currencies that appear imminent.

He called on Cameron to "larger political openness" on human rights in China.

Cameron has reportedly discussed the issue of imprisoned Chinese dissident who won the Nobel Prize for Peace this year, Liu Txiaopo with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao on Tuesday.

And Cameron is the first Western leader to visit China since the granting of Txiaopo Nobel Prize last month, angering Beijing. He has faced pressure during his trip, which lasted two days to take a firm public stand on human rights.

The call came at the conclusion of the official activities, after talks Wednesday morning with Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to the Great Wall of China.

Cameron said, "If China is willing to open their markets further and to work with Britain and other countries of the Group of Twenty in order to restore stability to the global economy and take steps with time towards the internationalization of its currency, this will contribute significantly to the recovery of world economy and the stability it needs in order to to achieve strong and sustainable growth. "

But with the face of accusations against China from the West that it keeps the low artificial value of its currency to support exports, warned Mr Cameron said: "The truth is that some countries that have achieved a surplus in current account spared a lot of money, while other countries like my country, which suffers from a deficit, it does not spare market very little. "

He said the result was a tidal wave of serious money that moves from side of the world to the other side, "saying he" should be "on China to strengthen domestic consumption, but he acknowledged that" this can not be done between overnight. "

Meanwhile, the Chinese president said in an interview with South Korean media that foreign countries must "face its problems" do not blame on others.

He added that "China is trying to manage its own affairs and do not blame others for their problems," as quoted by the Xinhua news agency published the interview.

However, Cameron (44 years), called on China to play a bigger role in world affairs, especially in the issue of climate change.

"We have tried to avoid the interference of China in world affairs in the past. But China's size and global communications means that this option is no longer realistic."

The visit comes as Mr Cameron, who took office in May, a month before a handover ceremony in Oslo, the Nobel prizes.

She said countries including Britain, it will not respond to call for China not to attend Western diplomats for the ceremony. Beijing said that the decision to honor the Chinese dissident up to the level of "encouraging crime".

It goes on Chinese dissident Liu Txiaopo (54 years), 11-year prison sentence for his signature on the "Bill 08" which calls for democracy in China.

Cameron said that talk about human rights "makes our relations (with China) is stronger," but he acknowledged the existence of differences and differences between the two countries.

Cameron defended his way of dealing with these issues and said that "it is better discussed in particular - we do not practice diplomacy, high voice, but if there were issues to be raised, we are we are raising."

Cameron said before the start of the visit was accompanied by a large delegation of businessmen and ministers, he wanted to conclude a multibillion-dollar deals with China during the visit.

Officials did not disclose the total value of the deals that were concluded during the visit, but it is believed to be low.

The biggest deal was announced was an agreement between the company Rolls Royce and China Eastern Airlines, which will be provided under the British company's 16 aircraft engines, A-330 owned by the Company.

The aim of Cameron in the long run to double the level of trade in goods and services between Britain and China by the year 2015, which last year amounted to a $ 51.8 billion.

The government seeks to reduce the deficit, which hit a record high, prompting them to impose austerity measures to cut public spending is the harshest in decades
