At the second session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, held on Saturday, Chinese President Xi Jinping outlined a vision for deeper ties among Asia-Pacific economies. His speech, titled “Jointly Forging a Sustainable and Brighter Future,” called on the region to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation, seize new opportunities, and tackle shared challenges.
Here are some of his key messages:
“We must strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation to unlock fresh pathways for inclusive growth.”
“Now is the time to seize new opportunities and rise to new challenges together, with innovation at the core.”
“Building a sustainable and brighter future is not a choice but a shared responsibility for all Asia-Pacific economies.”
Xi’s remarks come as member economies explore ways to balance economic recovery with climate action and technological transformation. By emphasizing partnership and sustainability, he signaled a push for collaborative projects in green energy, digital infrastructure, and equitable trade.
As young entrepreneurs, activists, and travelers look to the Asia-Pacific for the next wave of innovation and impact, this call underscores the value of cross-border collaboration. The message is clear: forging a resilient, greener future will require unity and creative solutions that leave no one behind.
