BEIJING, Oct. 31 -- At the invitation of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang will attend the Belem Climate Summit on Nov. 6 as President Xi Jinping's special representative, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Friday.

Spokesperson Guo Jiakun told a regular news briefing that China is ready to work with all parties to promote the global green and low-carbon transformation, expressing the hope that the summit will be a great success and become a milestone in global climate response.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and is the year for countries to submit their new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), representing a critical juncture for global climate governance, Guo said.
