Message from UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon

I am pleased to send greetings to all those participating in the third CEO roundtable for domestic and foreign business leaders in China.

Your focus on strengthening international cooperation and sustainable development is especially timely. In just a few weeks, governments will gather in Copenhagen in an effort to forge an international agreement on climate change.

That makes the call for sustainable business practices more important than ever. Progress in reaching an agreement will help to fundamentally transform the global economy.
