President Hu Jintao arrived in Berlin last night to attend theoutreach sessionof the Group of Eight (G8) industrialized nations' summit in northern Germany.
Hu will attend a multilateral meeting of the leaders of the Outreach Five developing countries - India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa in addition to China - in Berlin today as well have a series of bilateral meetings.
The annual summit of G8 countries - Germany (the current G8 presidency), the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia - opened in Heiligendamm yesterday.
With the summit theme "Growth and Responsibility", G8 leaders will discuss global warming and African development among other hot issues.
Hu will present China's propositions on climate change at the outreach session.
There is quite a cloud hanging over this year's G8 summit, which is French President Nicolas Sarkozy's first, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair's last.
Apart from trying to tone down the war of words between the US and Russia on a proposed American missile defense system in Europe, the leaders are also likely to discuss Middle East peace, the Darfur issue, Iran's nuclear program, and the future of Kosovo.
However, G8 members do not appear to have reached a consensus on some issues. There are signs the Americans are starting to get serious about climate change, but it is unlikely that concrete measures limiting carbon dioxide emissions will be agreed on.
One topic, however, seems to be getting more attention than any other: security. A 12-km metal barrier was erected and 16,000 police deployed to ensure the summit is not disturbed.

國(guó)家主席胡錦濤于昨晚（6月6日晚）抵達(dá)德國(guó)首都柏林，將出席在德國(guó)北部舉行的工業(yè)化八國(guó)集團(tuán)擴(kuò)大首腦會(huì)議。
胡錦濤將于今天在柏林出席中國(guó)、印度、巴西、墨西哥和南非五個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的集體會(huì)晤。會(huì)議期間，胡錦濤還將與有關(guān)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人舉行雙邊會(huì)談。
一年一度的八國(guó)集團(tuán)峰會(huì)于昨天在德國(guó)海利根達(dá)姆開(kāi)幕，與會(huì)的八個(gè)成員國(guó)包括德國(guó)（今年的輪值主席國(guó)）、美國(guó)、英國(guó)、法國(guó)、日本、意大利、加拿大和俄羅斯。
本屆八國(guó)峰會(huì)的主題是“增長(zhǎng)與責(zé)任”，八國(guó)集團(tuán)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將就全球變暖、非洲發(fā)展等熱點(diǎn)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行會(huì)談。
胡錦濤將在擴(kuò)大首腦會(huì)議上就氣候變化問(wèn)題闡述中國(guó)的看法和主張。
今年的八國(guó)峰會(huì)陰云密布，法國(guó)總統(tǒng)尼古拉斯·薩科奇第一次出席，而英國(guó)首相托尼·布萊爾則是最后一次出席。
此前，美國(guó)和俄羅斯因美執(zhí)意在歐洲部署導(dǎo)彈防御系統(tǒng)而關(guān)系緊張，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人們除了試圖緩解這一問(wèn)題外，還將討論中東和平、達(dá)爾富爾問(wèn)題、伊朗核計(jì)劃和科索沃的未來(lái)局勢(shì)問(wèn)題。
然而，八國(guó)在一些問(wèn)題上還未達(dá)成共識(shí)。有跡象表明，美國(guó)已開(kāi)始認(rèn)真對(duì)待氣候變化問(wèn)題，但各國(guó)在限制二氧化碳排放量的具體措施上不大可能達(dá)成一致。
然而，另一個(gè)問(wèn)題似乎最受關(guān)注，即安全問(wèn)題。為了確保此次峰會(huì)的順利進(jìn)行，德國(guó)政府設(shè)了一堵12公里長(zhǎng)的金屬墻，并部署了一萬(wàn)六千名警察。
