Chinese President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Saturday, concluding a dynamic journey that began at the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju and included a state visit to the Republic of Korea (ROK).
At the heart of APEC's Gyeongju gathering, Xi joined peers from the Chinese mainland and 20 other economies to discuss strategies for economic recovery amid a shifting global landscape. Focus areas included digital trade, sustainable growth, and efforts to strengthen cross-border supply chains.
Shifting gears to his state visit in the ROK, Xi's engagement with the ROK leadership and business community highlights deepening bilateral ties. Discussions spanned green technology, semiconductor partnerships, and cultural exchange—underscoring both sides' commitment to innovation and shared prosperity.
With Xi back in Beijing, attention now turns to how these high-level dialogues will shape policy on the Chinese mainland. For a global audience—from business innovators to sustainability advocates—this trip signals new pathways for regional cooperation and economic integration.
