Asia-Pacific building a shared future

Addressing the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, on Sunday, President Xi Jinping sent a strong message that China remains committed to deepening reform and opening-up further, and hopes to work with other APEC members to promote inclusive development in the Asia-Pacific region and explore new areas of digital economic development.

Emphasizing that China will help promote regional economic integration and build an open economy in the Asia-Pacific, Xi said China's determination to support free and open trade and voluntarily open its market to the world will not waver. In fact, the past 40 years show that reform and opening-up bring progress to a country while self-isolation leads to backwardness.
