Vision to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future

The goal of the Asia-Pacific's development should be to build a regional community with a shared future. This is the message President Xi Jinping gave in his speech at the 29th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Bangkok on Friday.

His call reflects the common aspiration of the countries in the region, given the tremendous challenges they face amid the fast-changing global environment. Demonstrating his strong sense of geographical and cultural belonging, President Xi called the Asia-Pacific "our home", which enjoys some unique favorable conditions and values that enable it to make the right choice whenever it reaches a crossroad.

Thanks to robust economic cooperation over the past decades, the region has created what can be called an "Asia-Pacific miracle", and become an economic powerhouse consolidating the global industry and supply chains, and driving global growth.
