ISTANBUL (AA) - Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized Saturday the need to act responsibly and cooperatively in his speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Meeting in Peru.
Xi laid out the path to achieve cooperation and solidarity with three objectives. “First, we need to build an open and interconnected paradigm for Asia-Pacific cooperation. Second, we need to make green innovation a catalyst for the Asia-Pacific. Third, we need to uphold a universally beneficial and inclusive vision for Asia-Pacific development,” Xi said.
Xi concluded by looking forward to China’s hosting APEC in 2026. “We look forward to working with all parties to deepen Asia-Pacific cooperation to the benefit of the peoples in the region.”
Xi arrived Thursday in Peru for a state visit and to attend the summit at the invitation of President Dina Boluarte.
