China will host the 2026 APEC summit. The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the country is ready to increase communication and cooperation with other member states. He said this at the press conference on Saturday (November 16).
The spokesman said China is also ready to deliver better results through practical cooperation, and give new impetus to economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
APEC is an important economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, the spokesperson said. To advance Asia-Pacific cooperation, China has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility by offering to host APEC in 2026, a decision welcomed by members. He also said that this proposal has been approved in the meeting of economic leaders in the recently concluded APEC conference.
Earlier, China hosted APEC twice in 2001 and 2014.
