China hopes the climate change conference to be held at Mexico can produce major and positive progress, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Sunday.

Yang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.

"It is widely held in the international community that important and good progress has been made at the Copenhagen conference," Yang said while adding that much more work remains to be done in this regard.

"China will work actively with other countries in the world to tackle the climate change challenge according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Kyoto Protocol, Bali road map and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities," he said.

He noted that China hopes that efforts of all countries in tackling climate change will yield more positive results this year and the Mexico conference will make major and positive progress.
