President Xi first met with Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte followed by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyattu for talks.
Premier Li met with Duterte, Kenyattu, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, British Finance Minister Philip Hammond, and German Minister of Economics and Energy Brigitte Zypries. The meetings were held at the monolithic Great Hall of the People.
