In a significant move toward fostering inclusive economic growth, the APEC Women and Economy Forum recently convened in Shanghai. The event served as a vital platform for female representatives from across APEC members to converge and address the evolving challenges and opportunities within the regional economy.
A highlight of the forum occurred when CGTN's Li Jiaming invited female delegates to step beyond formal presentations and engage in an open, candid dialogue. Participants were encouraged to share the questions and concerns that matter most to them, creating a space for peer-to-peer exchange and collaborative problem-solving.
By centering the discussion on the lived experiences and primary concerns of these leaders, the forum emphasized the importance of gender-responsive policies in achieving sustainable development. The engagement in Shanghai underscores a collective commitment among APEC members to ensure that women's perspectives are not only heard but integrated into the strategic economic frameworks of the region.
