China to host APEC economic meet next year

China will host the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in 2026, President Xi Jinping said on Saturday.

The announcement was made during the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Peru’s capital Lima, where leaders from the APEC economies convened to address pressing global challenges, including trade, sustainability, and inclusive growth.

“We look forward to working with all parties to deepen Asia-Pacific cooperation to the benefit of the peoples in the region,” Xi said.

It will be the third time China will host the top gathering since APEC’s founding in 1989.

“Over the decades, APEC has been instrumental in leading Asia and the Pacific to great success in development, prosperity and connectivity, making the region the most dynamic economy and primary engine of global economic growth,” Xi said at the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting.

Noting that Asia-Pacific cooperation is confronted with challenges such as rising tendencies of geopolitics, unilateralism and protectionism, the president urged APEC economies to act in solidarity and cooperation to meet the challenges.
