Ikiara said he expects China to play an even bigger role on climate change, anti-terrorism, poverty reduction and global governance reform.

In his speech, Xi also mentioned the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) should be solidified and strengthened, a remark which was well received by experts.

The BRI "combines not only one of the most transformational development initiatives, but also if done right, will bring a lot of positive changes in many of these countries, not just economically, but politically and in many other sectors," said Zubaid Ahmad, a senior Wall Street banker who created an equity firm focusing on business opportunities arising from BRI projects.

Jim O'Neill, former Goldman Sachs chief economist who will become chair of Britain's Royal Institute of International Affairs in July, said China is now "at the center" of all major global affairs.

He urged the British government to cooperate with China on such fields as the BRI, finance, health and clean energy.

Meanwhile, the British economist also called on the government to make more efforts to enhance the friendly relationship between Britain and China and create "more and more win-win situations between Britain and China."

Britain needs to become "a great trusted partner of China," he said.
