APEC Members to Draw Post-2020 Vision Together
In 1994, members of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) set a goal of liberalizing trade and investment among the developed economies by 2010 and developing economies by 2020, better known as the Bogor Goals.
Over the past 20-plus years, the APEC members, though varied in development levels, have accomplished a lot in lowering tariffs, eliminating trade barriers, liberalizing trade and facilitating investments by taking the Bogor Goals as a guideline.
Data shows that trade in goods in the Asia-Pacific region has witnessed a quadruple growth, while the absorbing foreign capital and outbound investment in the region soared by 600 percent. Thanks to closer economic and trade ties among the APEC members, people there are living a much more decent life.
The members are now eager to prepare for a post-2020 blueprint by finding out new directions and drawing out new roadmap as the year of 2020 is now around the comer.
The 22nd APEC Economic Leaders‟ Meeting hosted by China three years ago provided enlightenment for the long-term development of APEC mechanism.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the 2014 meeting, stressed that it meets the common interests of all members to foster an open economy in the Asia-Pacific featuring innovative development, interconnected growth and converging interests.
To realize the goal, he urged the big APEC family to work together to build an Asia-Pacific partnership of mutual trust, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win progress, saying that this will inject new energy into the economic development of both the Asia-Pacific and the world. The Beijing meeting fell in the 25th anniversary of APEC and 20th birthday of Bogor Goals.
Xi urged the members to fulfill “Asia-Pacific dream” by redoubling efforts to forge a partnership of mutual trust,inclusiveness and win-win cooperation. The blueprint envisaged by him is of great value for APEC cooperation.
Vietnam, host of this year‟s meeting, has selected post-2020 vision as a key agenda. In order to ensure that APEC members could reach consensus on new vision before 2020, exchanges will be organized and working group is expected to be set up to draft a report.
The “Asia-Pacific dream” can also find an echo from the Chinese Dream. The Asia-Pacific region will enjoy new impetus brought by China‟s efforts to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and embark on a journey to fully build a modem socialist China.
Starting from the reality, China will, guided by the Asia-Pacific partnership, explore the post-2020 vision together with other APEC members by bearing a far-sighted horizon, taking all factors into consideration and pooling consensus.
The launch of Post-2020 Vision of APEC is of great significance to the development of Asia-Pacific regions, as well as China itself.
On the one hand, as the most influential economic forum in the Asia-Pacific region, the APEC, plays an important role in promoting the member states‟ economic development. The Post-2020 Vision of APEC will surely advance economic integration in Asia Pacific, creating millions of jobs and lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty.
On the other hand, China will also benefit a lot from it. Firstly, China can continue to promote the reform and opening up according to Post-2020 Vision of APEC and its own development needs. Secondly, with the Post-2020 Vision of APEC as an opportunity, it is conducive to promoting the export of Chinese products and creating a better,more stable and open external environment for Chinese enterprises. Thirdly, it is helpful for China to learn from the advanced experience of other members in the economic management system and improve its own market system construction. Moreover, China can strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other members, and catch the world‟s scientific and technology trends, as well as improve China‟s technological development.
It is believed that all APEC members will plan their cooperation vision after 2020, conform to the trend of economic globalization, not hindered by temporary difficulties, and continue to uphold the purpose of promoting regional economic integration.
