Work Together for Asia-Pacific Prosperity

January 1, 2023 marked the first anniversary of the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). As the largest free trade agreement covering the most population in the world, RCEP has constantly deepened economic connectivity between Asian economies and released new vitality for regional economic cooperation and global economic development since it came into force one year ago. 

2023年1月1日，《區域全面經濟夥伴關係協定》正式生效實施一週年。作為當今世界上涵蓋人口最多、經貿規模最大的自由貿易協定，RCEP實施一年來不斷加深亞洲經濟體之間的經濟連結，為區域經濟合作和全球經濟發展不斷釋放新的活力。

We need to forge stronger Asia-Pacific partnerships based on mutual trust, inclusiveness, and mutually beneficial cooperation, and act on the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. We need to upgrade and expand regional cooperation to deliver prosperity for the whole region. It is important that we advance results-oriented cooperation on the basis of consensus, properly manage differences and disagreements, and steer Asia-Pacific cooperation in the right direction to ensure APEC’S sound long-term development.

——Speech at the 27th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, November 20, 2020
