China News Service, November 13th. From November 18th to 19th, the 33rd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Informal Meeting will be held in Shenzhen, China. Many foreign media believe that this meeting is of far-reaching significance and will inject confidence into world development. International public opinion generally points out that China has always been an important force in promoting Asia-Pacific cooperation and continues to promote the development and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region.
APEC provides a dialogue platform
On the 12th, the UAE's "Gulf Times" published an article signed by Zeng Jixin, Chinese Ambassador to the UAE, "Meet in Shenzhen to build a better future for the Asia-Pacific and the world." The article pointed out that the Shenzhen APEC meeting, with the theme of "Building an Asia-Pacific Community and Promoting Common Prosperity", will draw a blueprint for the development of the Asia-Pacific and inject confidence into world development.
The article stated that the Asia-Pacific is the most dynamic sector and main growth engine of the global economy. Since its establishment 37 years ago, APEC has become the highest-level, broadest and most influential economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region, driving the development and integration of the Asia-Pacific region.
"Pakistan Observer" pointed out that this meeting will have an important impact on regional cooperation and even the global economic pattern.
The Romanian Middle East Political and Economic Research Institute issued a statement saying that the value of APEC lies in providing a dialogue platform. Even if countries have different political positions, they can still negotiate pragmatic rules and maintain cooperation channels.
Recently, Kazakhstan's DKNews website published a signed article titled "Shenzhen 2026: China Provides a New Framework for Asia-Pacific Cooperation." The article stated that China views hosting the APEC meeting as an opportunity to strengthen multilateral trade, regional integration and artificial intelligence cooperation. This move is constructive in a context where economic relations are increasingly affected by national security concerns.
The article stated that APEC is based on voluntariness and consensus, making it a platform where standards and practical arrangements can be discussed even when its members have differences on political issues.
Türkiye's "Daily Morning News" stated that APEC itself has well confirmed the value of dialogue. Each member economy has different political systems, economic development priorities, and different views on the international order. Despite this, the parties continue to meet because, even if political differences persist, cooperation can still bring tangible benefits.
China continues to promote development and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific
New Zealand's "Asia Media Center" recently published an article saying that Shenzhen has risen from a small fishing village to a global science and technology innovation highland, and Shenzhen's development achievements are eye-catching. Now, all preparations for the APEC meeting are in place, and the city is about to welcome the leaders of APEC economies.
The article pointed out that Shenzhen is a window to showcase China’s scientific and technological strength. Leaders attending the conference can see various achievements such as humanoid robots and emerging artificial intelligence products on the spot.
The Russian Sputnik News Agency quoted analysts as saying that as the host of APEC in 2026, China is not only the host of the meeting, but also the agenda setter and consensus builder, and is committed to establishing implementable common goals for Asia-Pacific cooperation.
The analysis said, "From a rule acceptor to an agenda leader, China has the confidence and willingness to turn the blueprint into reality." From Shanghai in 2001, Beijing in 2014, and Shenzhen in 2026, hosting the event three times reflects the process of deep integration between China and the Asia-Pacific.
Ecuador's Pressenza International News Agency published an article on the 12th stating that during its tenure as the host of APEC in 2026, China will regard small and medium-sized enterprises as an important force in promoting technological innovation, employment and economic development, which reflects China's broad ideas of promoting technological innovation and regional cooperation.
Pakistan Economic Network reported that the Shenzhen APEC meeting will mark a new stage in the growing cooperation between China and the Asia-Pacific region.
The report pointed out that while China is developing, it has always been rooted in the Asia-Pacific region and is committed to contributing to the development and prosperity of the region.
