Beijing, March 8 (Xinhua) — China intends to put the idea of building an Asia-Pacific community into practice, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.
The agenda for this year's APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen will focus on three key themes: openness, innovation, and cooperation, which will guide APEC as it stands at a crossroads, Wang Yi emphasized at a press conference during the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing.
The 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will take place in November in Shenzhen, China. This will be the third such event hosted by China, following Shanghai in 2001 and Beijing in 2014.
Several decades have passed since the concept of the Asia-Pacific Community was first proposed. However, it should not remain merely on paper or limited to a vision. China hopes to find answers in Shenzhen, consolidate common views, identify priority areas, and develop achievable measures so that the creation of the Asia-Pacific Community becomes a broad consensus and a living practice for the people of the region, Wang Yi noted.
According to Wang Yi, China will create the fundamental pillars for building the Asia-Pacific Community, coordinate various paths to advance the development of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area, develop rational plans for developing regional connectivity, and actively promote transformation towards digitalization, intellectualization, and greening.
Let Shenzhen become the starting point of APEC on the path to building an Asia-Pacific community, he added. -0-
