Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to participate in the second session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju, the Republic of Korea, on Saturday, where he will deliver a keynote speech. The event brings together leaders from 21 APEC member economies to discuss regional economic integration, sustainable development, and post-pandemic recovery strategies.
Xi's address is expected to emphasize China's commitment to multilateral cooperation, innovation-driven growth, and inclusive economic policies in the Asia-Pacific region. Analysts anticipate his remarks will highlight opportunities for cross-border collaboration in green technology, digital infrastructure, and supply chain resilience — key areas for businesses and investors navigating Asia's evolving economic landscape.
The meeting occurs amid renewed focus on Asia's role in stabilizing global markets, with APEC economies accounting for nearly 60% of world GDP. Observers will watch for signals on China's economic priorities and potential partnerships with neighboring countries and regions.
