The person in charge of COP26 in the UK said that the Chinese courts will be successful

LONDON (Reuters)-The chairman of the summit, Alok Sharma of the United Kingdom, said on Sunday that the key to the success of the UN COP26 climate change conference in November lies in China.

Sharma said he had “constructive and very frank discussions” during his visit to China earlier this month, and he said that Chinese President Xi Jinping has not yet confirmed whether he will attend the summit.

“In every conversation I have with the Chinese, they are very clear that they want COP26 to succeed, so the ball is very important on their court,” Sharma told Sky News.
