Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend the First APEC 2026 Senior Officials' Meeting in Guangzhou on February 10, 2026, according to a Foreign Ministry spokesperson. The senior diplomat is set to deliver a keynote address at the opening session of the forum, which brings together representatives from all 21 APEC member economies.
Held in south China's Guangdong Province, the meeting marks the first major APEC gathering of the year and will focus on advancing regional economic integration and sustainable development priorities. Analysts anticipate Wang's speech to emphasize China's commitment to multilateral cooperation and innovation-driven growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
As the world's second-largest economy, the Chinese mainland continues to play a pivotal role in shaping APEC's agenda. This year's discussions are expected to address supply chain resilience, digital transformation, and climate-related investment frameworks.
