As the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) intensifies efforts to build a sustainable future, a dynamic dialogue is emerging among young visionaries at Beijing's Tsinghua University. Representatives from South Korea, Vietnam, and Malaysia recently convened to discuss cross-border collaboration, showcasing how generational perspectives are redefining regional development strategies.
In a special forum documented by CGTN's Yang Xinmeng, participants emphasized practical solutions for climate action, digital innovation, and inclusive economic growth. "Our shared challenges demand collective creativity," noted one Malaysian delegate, highlighting youth-driven initiatives bridging technology and traditional industries across APEC members.
The discussion underscored three key priorities: leveraging educational exchanges, establishing transnational green tech partnerships, and creating digital platforms for continuous knowledge-sharing. With 60% of APEC's population under 40, such dialogues signal shifting approaches to regional policymaking.
