共擔時代責任 共促亞太發展
——在亞太經合組織第三十一次領導人非正式會議上的講話
（2024年11月16日，利馬）
中華人民共和國主席 習近平
尊敬的博魯阿爾特總統，
各位同事：
很高興時隔8年再次來到美麗的“花園之都”利馬，同大家共商亞太合作大計。感謝博魯阿爾特總統和秘魯政府為這次會議作出的周到安排。
幾十年來，亞太經合組織帶動亞太地區實現大發展、大繁榮、大融通，助推亞太成為全球經濟最具活力板塊和主要增長引擎。當前，世界百年變局加速演進，世界經濟增長乏力，世界開放指數不斷下滑，亞太合作也面臨地緣政治、單邊主義和保護主義上升等挑戰。站在歷史的十字路口，亞太各國肩負更大責任。我們要團結協作，勇于擔當，全面落實2040年布特拉加亞愿景，推動構建亞太命運共同體，努力開創亞太發展新時代。為此，我愿提出以下建議。
一是構建開放融通的亞太合作格局。我們要堅持多邊主義和開放型經濟大方向，堅定維護以世界貿易組織為核心的多邊貿易體制，充分激活亞太經合組織作為全球經貿規則“孵化器”的作用，著力推進區域經濟一體化和互聯互通，拆除割裂貿易、投資、技術、服務流通的高墻，維護產業鏈供應鏈穩定通暢，促進亞太和世界經濟循環。建設亞太自由貿易區是區域經濟一體化的宏偉愿景，關乎亞太長遠發展繁榮。10年前，亞太經合組織北京會議作出啟動亞太自由貿易區進程的歷史性決定。今天，我們將通過亞太自貿區建設新的指導文件，相信這將為推動亞太開放型經濟發展注入新動力。
開放是中國式現代化的鮮明標識。中國堅持以開放促改革，主動對接國際高標準經貿規則，積極擴大自主開放，將推動電信、互聯網、教育、文化、醫療等領域有序擴大開放。中方堅持高質量實施《區域全面經濟伙伴關系協定》，積極推動加入《全面與進步跨太平洋伙伴關系協定》和《數字經濟伙伴關系協定》進程，簽署中國－秘魯自由貿易協定升級議定書，實質性結束中國－東盟自由貿易區3.0版升級談判，愿同有關各方探索商談數字和綠色領域貿易協定，持續擴大面向全球的高標準自由貿易區網絡。
二是培育綠色創新的亞太增長動能。我們要牢牢抓住新一輪科技革命和產業變革機遇，在人工智能、量子信息、生命健康等前沿領域加強交流合作，營造開放、公平、公正、非歧視的創新生態，推動亞太地區實現生產力躍升。要堅持生態優先、節約集約、綠色低碳發展，推進經濟社會發展全面綠色轉型，建設清潔美麗的亞太。要著力推動數字化綠色化協同轉型發展，塑造亞太發展新動能新優勢。
中國正在因地制宜發展新質生產力，深化同各方綠色創新合作。中方將發布《全球數據跨境流動合作倡議》，愿同各方深化合作，共同促進高效、便利、安全的數據跨境流動。中方在亞太經合組織提出貿易單證數字化、綠色供應鏈能力建設、人工智能交流對話、糧食產業數字化等倡議，為亞太高質量發展貢獻力量。
三是樹牢普惠包容的亞太發展理念。我們要用好亞太經合組織平臺，加強經濟技術合作，加大對發展中經濟體和弱勢群體的支持，共同做大并分好經濟發展“蛋糕”，讓更多經濟體、更多民眾共享發展成果。今年，秘魯積極推動非正規經濟向正規和全球經濟轉型合作，同中國以人為本、促進社會公平正義、增進人民福祉的發展理念高度契合，中方對此表示歡迎。中方將在亞太經合組織推進提高居民收入、促進中小企業集群式發展等倡議，助力亞太經濟普惠包容發展。
中國將擔任亞太經合組織2026年東道主，期待同各方一道深化亞太合作，造福亞太人民。
各位同事！
改革開放是中國和世界共同發展進步的歷史進程。幾個月前，中國共產黨二十屆三中全會對進一步全面深化改革、推進中國式現代化作出系統部署。全會提出300多項重要改革舉措，就構建高水平社會主義市場經濟體制、推動經濟高質量發展、擴大高水平對外開放、提高人民生活品質、建設美麗中國等各領域作出系統布局。中國發展將為亞太和世界發展提供更多新機遇。
中國古人說，“己欲立而立人，己欲達而達人”。拉美也有句諺語，“唯有益天下，方可惠本國”。中方歡迎各方繼續搭乘中國發展快車，同中國經濟共同發展，為實現和平發展、互利合作、共同繁榮的世界各國現代化共同努力。
謝謝大家。
Shouldering Responsibility to Our Times And Jointly Promoting Asia-Pacific Development
Remarks by H.E. Xi Jinping
President of the People’s Republic of China
At the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’?Meeting
Lima, November 16, 2024
Your Excellency President Dina Boluarte,
Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to visit the beautiful garden city?of Lima again after eight years and join you in discussing Asia-Pacific cooperation. I wish to thank President Boluarte and the Peruvian government for the excellent organization of this meeting.
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. The world today is gripped by accelerating transformation unseen in a century as well as anemic growth. The World Openness Index has been on the decline. Asia-Pacific cooperation is confronted with challenges such as rising tendencies of geopolitics, unilateralism and protectionism.?At this historic crossroads, we Asia-Pacific countries carry greater responsibilities?on our shoulders. We must act in solidarity and cooperation to meet the challenges, fully deliver on the Putrajaya Vision 2040, build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, and start a new era in Asia-Pacific development. To this end, I wish to propose the following.
First, we need to build an open and interconnected paradigm for Asia-Pacific cooperation.?We should stay committed to multilateralism and an open economy, firmly uphold the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, fully reactivate APEC’s role as an incubator of global economic and trade rules, and advance regional economic integration and connectivity. We should tear down the walls impeding the flow of trade, investment, technology and services, uphold stable and smooth industrial and supply chains, and promote economic circulation in the region and the world. A?Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) is an ambitious vision for regional economic integration, and is critical for long-term development and prosperity of our region. Ten years ago, a historic decision to kick off the FTAAP process was taken at the APEC Economic Leaders’?Meeting in Beijing. Today, we will adopt a new document to guide this process.?I believe that this will give new impetus to our efforts toward an open Asia-Pacific economy.
Opening up is a distinct hallmark of Chinese modernization. China always promotes reform through opening up. We voluntarily subscribe to high-standard international economic and trade rules, adopt proactive measures for further opening up,?and take systematic steps to further open?the telecom, Internet, education, culture, medical service and other sectors. We continue to implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) against high standards. We are also working actively to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). We have just signed a protocol to upgrade the free trade agreement with Peru, and have substantially concluded negotiations?with ASEAN to upgrade to free trade area 3.0. Together with the relevant parties, we will seek to discuss trade agreements in digital and green areas, and?steadily expand the?globally-oriented network of high-standard free trade areas.
Second, we need to make green innovation a catalyst for the Asia-Pacific. We need to firmly seize the opportunities presented by the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, and strengthen exchanges and cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI), quantum information,?life and health, and other frontier areas. We need to?foster an open, fair, just and nondiscriminatory ecosystem?for innovation, and promote a leapfrog development of?productive forces across our region. To build a clean and beautiful Asia-Pacific, we should prioritize ecological protection, promote resources conservation and their efficient use as well as green and low-carbon development, and engineer an?all-round green transition in economic and social development. We need to?push forward coordinated digital and green?transformation and development to create new momentum and new drivers for Asia-Pacific development.
China is developing new quality productive forces in light?of actual conditions?and deepening cooperation with interested?parties?on green innovation. China will launch a?Global Cross-Border Data Flow Cooperation Initiative, and seek?deeper?cooperation with other?parties to promote efficient, convenient and secure cross-border data flows. China has put forward initiatives in the APEC framework concerning, among others, the application of digital bill of lading, capacity building on green supply chains, exchanges and dialogue on approaches to AI, and the digitalization of food supply chains,?with a view to contributing?to high-quality development of the Asia-Pacific.
Third, we need to uphold a universally beneficial and inclusive vision for Asia-Pacific development.?We should make good use of the APEC platform to strengthen economic and technical cooperation. We should?increase support for developing economies and disadvantaged groups, and work together to grow the pie and distribute it equitably?to allow more economies and people to benefit from development. This year, Peru has been actively promoting?cooperation on?the transition from the informal economy to the formal and global economy. China welcomes this effort which dovetails?with our development philosophy?of putting people first,?promoting social fairness and justice and improving the people’s well-being.?China will advance initiatives through the?APEC platform on?increasing residents’?income?and promoting the industrial cluster?development?of small-?and medium-sized enterprises,?for the purpose of bringing about?universally beneficial and inclusive development of?Asia-Pacific?economies.
China will host APEC 2026. We?look forward to working with all parties to deepen Asia-Pacific cooperation to the benefit of the peoples in the region.
Colleagues,
Reform and opening up is a historic process in which China and the world achieve development and progress together.?A few months ago, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, at its third plenum,?laid out?systematic plans for further deepening reform across the board?to advance Chinese modernization.?More than 300 consequential?reform measures were unveiled?pertaining to?building a high-standard socialist market economy, advancing high-quality economic development, promoting high-standard opening up, improving the people’s quality of life, and building a beautiful country. China’s further development will provide new opportunities for the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.
An ancient Chinese sage?observed, “A?man of virtue, while establishing himself and pursuing success, also works to help?others establish themselves and succeed.”?There is a similar saying in Latin America?which?goes, “The only way to be profitably national is to be generously universal.”?China welcomes all parties to continue riding the “express train”?of its development and grow together with the Chinese?economy?so that we can all contribute to the modernization of all countries featuring peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity.
Thank you.
