BEIJING: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said on Sunday the government had stressed confidence, responsibility and cooperation in dealing with the effects of the global economic crisis.

"Since the very beginning of the economic crisis, we have felt no country could evade the grave impact of crisis or solve it alone," Wen said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.

"(The international community) must strengthen cooperation to deal with it together."

Referring back to his speech to the United Nations in New York in September last year, Wen said confidence was more economically important than gold or any currency.

"As a big developing country, China must run its own affairs well and leave no trouble for others," he said. "We acted as promised."
