The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit is set to take place in San Francisco from November 14 to 16. This pivotal event brings together business leaders from the Asia-Pacific region to engage in meaningful discussions with economic leaders and policymakers about regional challenges and opportunities.
This year’s conference theme, \"Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All,\" highlights the importance of interconnectedness, innovation, and inclusivity. These key themes aim to guide the region towards a future that is not only economically robust but also environmentally sustainable and socially equitable.
Victoria Chonn Ching, a postdoctoral researcher and teaching fellow at USC University, is among the experts sharing her insights at the summit. With her extensive background in economic policy making and expertise in Chinese and Latin American foreign policy, Ching emphasizes the critical areas that APEC should focus on this year.
Ching highlights green growth, trade, and the enhancement of women's voices as essential components for a sustainable future. In an era marked by increasing protectionism, she advocates for stronger cooperation among Asia-Pacific countries to reinforce supply chains. According to Ching, building resilient and sustainable supply chains is vital for ensuring long-term economic stability and fostering mutual growth across the region.
The APEC CEO Summit serves as a crucial platform for shaping policies that drive innovation and inclusivity, ensuring that all members of the Asia-Pacific community can thrive in a rapidly changing global landscape.
