BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - It is vital given global events that this weekend's G20 summit in Turkey ensures the group's position as a strong economic entity, China's Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said.

Friday's attacks in Paris had shown terrorism to be a common enemy, he told a news conference in Belek, southwest Turkey.

Commenting on China's economy, he said growth would have to reach more than 6.5 percent annually to reach a target of doubling GDP by 2020, adding he was confident growth would reach around 7 percent this year.
