国际英语资讯:Interview: APEC summit to bring regional cooperation closer to people, businesses: Vietnames

"All these results have been attached to realizing the four priorities of APEC Year 2017," he added.

The four priorities put forward by Vietnam included promoting sustainable, innovative and inclusive growth; deepening regional economic integration; strengthening micro, small and medium enterprises' competitiveness and innovation in the digital age; and enhancing food security and sustainable agriculture in response to climate change.

This year's APEC Economic Leaders' Week will be held under the theme "Creating Dynamism, Fostering a Shared Future."

"The members' consensus on APEC Year 2017's theme and the priorities has reflected APEC's leading interest at present. It is creating new impulse for growth, integration and economic linkage of the Asia-Pacific region," Son said.

Son noted that global economic growth is still facing medium and long-term risks, and global economic linkage is slowing down. Against such backdrop, consensus among APEC members on the theme is a key requirement for reinforcing the bloc's role as a leading economic cooperation mechanism in the region, he said.

"As the Vietnamese saying 'Fire proves gold, adversity proves men,' I hope that results of the APEC (Economic) Leaders' Week will affirm determination of APEC leaders in keeping on fostering broadened and deepened cooperation, integration and linkage among members, contributing to building the peaceful, stable, dynamic, self-strengthening, close-knit and prosperous Asia-Pacific region," Son said.
