"When in a small place, we all do the same thing," he said. "Then I come to events like this, it is very different. You meet a lot of different people and you will look things in different way," he said.
An example he gave was about a car sharing app in Singapore, with which people going to the same destination could share a car instead of taking public transportation.
"The delegates from PNG keep asking me and say it is a kind of thing that they could try," he said. "It is such an interesting thing. You inspire each other."
His view was shared by Momori Hirabayashi from the University of Tokyo.
"It is an incredible experience," said the 24-year-old girl. "One of the great things of the youth is we are open-minded. In Japan we talk about gender equality, mental health and working hierarchy. It is great to see the problems shared and we work together for a solution," she said.
She said she was going to propose for an alumni association. "I think we should be in touch after the meeting and offer our experiences to the next delegation," she said.
Antonio I. Basilio, director of the APEC Business Advisory Council, said he was impressed by the performance of youth delegates. "They know what is going on in the world, they love their country and do what they can to help it," he said.
Yao Xuanyu, a Chinese middle school student, said she was going to share her experience with her friends after she returns to China.
