Dar es Salaam, November 1 (Xinhua) — Tanzania's incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan, representing the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Revolutionary Party, CCM), won the presidential election with 97.66 percent of the vote, the country's Independent National Electoral Commission announced on Saturday.

Thus, S.S. Hassan became the first woman elected president of Tanzania. She assumed her first term as president in March 2021, following the death of then-leader John Magufuli, under whom she served as vice president, from cardiovascular disease. This was a historic event for Tanzania, where supreme power had previously always been in the hands of men.

General elections took place in the country on Wednesday. They were marred by several days of violent protests.

In elections held every five years, Tanzanians chose their president, members of parliament, and local council members. Seventeen parties nominated candidates for the presidency, and 18 contested seats in parliament and local councils.

Gyeongju, South Korea, November 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Saturday that economies in the Asia-Pacific region should strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation, effectively seize new opportunities, confront new challenges, and jointly build a sustainable and bright future.

Xi Jinping made the statement in his speech titled “Building a Sustainable and Bright Future Together” at the second session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.

Currently, a new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, opening up new horizons for humanity, Xi Jinping noted.

On the other hand, the world faces weak economic growth and a widening global development gap, while challenges such as climate change, food and energy security are worsening, he said.

Xi Jinping put forward a three-point proposal.

First, he called on Asia-Pacific countries to further unlock the potential of digital and intellectual development in order to give the Asia-Pacific region a new impetus for innovative development.

According to Xi Jinping, economies should make full use of new technologies to expand their capabilities and advance, seize the opportunities of digital, intelligent and green development, and accelerate the creation and development of new-quality productive forces.

He called for efforts to promote the secure and orderly flow of data, deepen collaboration on open-source technologies, and create an open, competitive ecosystem for innovation.

According to him, the economies of the Asia-Pacific region must care for the well-being of all humanity and promote the rational and orderly development of artificial intelligence (AI), while ensuring its usefulness, safety and fairness.

China proposed the establishment of a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization to provide public goods in the field of AI to the international community, he said, adding that China is ready to work with all APEC members to improve AI literacy and bridge the digital and artificial intelligence divide in the Asia-Pacific region.

Secondly, Xi Jinping called on Asia-Pacific countries to maintain their commitment to green and low-carbon development in order to create a new paradigm for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the Chinese leader, the economies of the Asia-Pacific region should remember their responsibility to future generations, strengthen the synergy between the green development strategies of all economies, promote the free flow of high-quality green technologies and products, accelerate the transition to a green and low-carbon economy, and vigorously combat climate change.

Xi Jinping noted that since announcing the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, China has built the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system.

China also presented its national proposals for responding to climate change through 2035 and will implement a dual-control system for the volume and intensity of carbon dioxide emissions across the board, he said.

Third, Xi Jinping called for building an inclusive and win-win future to inject new dynamism into inclusive growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

He called on Asia-Pacific economies to always put people first and strengthen policy communication, experience sharing and results-oriented cooperation to fully implement the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, jointly end poverty and promote shared prosperity for all people in Asia-Pacific.

Xi Jinping said Asia-Pacific economies should make full use of APEC's traditional strengths in economic and technical cooperation to promote balanced growth among developing economies.

China will more actively improve the system that provides a full lifecycle of services for all Chinese people and promote the high-quality development of the population, the Chinese leader noted.

China will also promote initiatives to introduce artificial intelligence into healthcare and improve women's digital literacy and skills so that the entire Asia-Pacific region can benefit from APEC cooperation, he added.

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–
