The 18th leader informal summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) was concluded in Yokohama (Japan) on November 14th. The announcement published after the conference states that APEC will continue to promote the progress of regional economic integration and by practical measurements induce the construction of self trade regions in Asia and the Pacific.
The announcement stated the APEC is devoting itself to implement the "leaders' growth strategy" which was raised in the conference, namely promoting the balance achieved in the economy of Asia and Pacific, as well as persistence, creativity and secure growth; responding to the opportunities and challenges in the 21st century.
The statement expressed that the economy of Asia and the Pacific is now recovering from the global financial crisis, but such recovery still faces unclear factors. At the same time, Asia and the Pacific are the most rich and vital regions on the globe, and as such, the role they play is increasingly important.
The statement also mentioned that APEC greets the achievements of the 20 nations' summit meetings, and will continue to promote a more formidable construction and an elastic system for world finance, opposing trade protectionism.
Furthermore, the convention issued three concluding documents: "The leaders political explanation of the 'Bogor Objective' examination", "the leader's growth strategies" and "the possible ways of establishing free trade zones in Asia and the Pacific".
