Gyeongju, South Korea, November 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said here Saturday that the Chinese city of Shenzhen will host the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in November 2026.
This was announced at the session on the transition of the APEC presidency during the 32nd Informal Meeting of the Organization's Economic Leaders.
Xi Jinping stressed that APEC is the most important economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, having made a significant contribution to its growth and prosperity.
Building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future is not only an important way to achieve long-term development and prosperity in the region, but also a common aspiration of all parties, he said.
The Chinese President noted that in 2026, China will host the APEC summit for the third time. China stands ready to seize this opportunity and work with all parties to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, promote growth and prosperity in the region, and focus on advancing the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific and practical cooperation in areas such as connectivity, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence, so as to inject greater vitality and impetus into the development of the Asia-Pacific region and bring greater benefits to the people of the region, Xi Jinping stated.
He said that Shenzhen is located on the Pacific coast and has transformed itself over the past few decades from a small, backward fishing village into a modern international metropolis.
He called the city's rise a miracle in the history of global development, created by the Chinese people, and an important window into China's relentless pursuit of a win-win, win-win strategy of opening up.
Xi Jinping said he looks forward to all parties meeting in Shenzhen next year to jointly discuss development plans for the Asia-Pacific region and create a bright future for it.
The leaders of the participating economies actively supported China's hosting of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting next year. They agreed with China's philosophy as host of the meeting.
They also expressed hope for the full success of the APEC Year of China, which is expected to contribute to the development of regional cooperation and promote common development and prosperity. –0–
