Shouldering Responsibility to Our Times And Jointly Promoting Asia-Pacific Development
Remarks by H.E. Xi JinpingPresident of the People's Republic of ChinaAt the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' MeetingLima, November 16, 2024Your Excellency President Dina Boluarte,Colleagues,It is my great pleasure to visit the beautiful garden city?of Lima again after eight years and join you in discussing Asia-Pacific cooperation. I wish to thank President Boluarte and the Peruvian government for the excellent organization of this meeting.Over the decades, APEC has been instrumental in leading Asia and the Pacific to great success in development, prosperity and connectivity, making the region the most dynamic economy and primary engine of global economic growth. The world today is gripped by accelerating transformation unseen in a century as well as anemic growth. The World Openness Index has been on the decline. Asia-Pacific cooperation is confronted with challenges such as rising tendencies of geopolitics, unilateralism and protectionism.?At this historic crossroads, we Asia-Pacific countries carry greater responsibilities?on our shoulders. We must act in solidarity and cooperation to meet the challenges, fully deliver on the Putrajaya Vision 2040, build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future, and start a new era in Asia-Pacific development. To this end, I wish to propose the following.First, we need to build an open and interconnected paradigm for Asia-Pacific cooperation.?We should stay committed to multilateralism and an open economy, firmly uphold the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, fully reactivate APEC's role as an incubator of global economic and trade rules, and advance regional economic integration and connectivity. We should tear down the walls impeding the flow of trade, investment, technology and services, uphold stable and smooth industrial and supply chains, and promote economic circulation in the region and the world. A?Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) is an ambitious vision for regional economic integration, and is critical for long-term development and prosperity of our region. Ten years ago, a historic decision to kick off the FTAAP process was taken at the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Beijing. Today, we will adopt a new document to guide this process.?I believe that this will give new impetus to our efforts toward an open Asia-Pacific economy.Opening up is a distinct hallmark of Chinese modernization. China always promotes reform through opening up. We voluntarily subscribe to high-standard international economic and trade rules, adopt proactive measures for further opening up,?and take systematic steps to further open?the telecom, Internet, education, culture, medical service and other sectors. We continue to implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) against high standards. We are also working actively to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). We have just signed a protocol to upgrade the free trade agreement with Peru, and have substantially concluded negotiations?with ASEAN to upgrade to free trade area 3.0. Together with the relevant parties, we will seek to discuss trade agreements in digital and green areas, and?steadily expand the?globally-oriented network of high-standard free trade areas.Second, we need to make green innovation a catalyst for the Asia-Pacific.?We need to firmly seize the opportunities presented by the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, and strengthen exchanges and cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI), quantum information,?life and health, and other frontier areas. We need to?foster an open, fair, just and nondiscriminatory ecosystem?for innovation, and promote a leapfrog development of?productive forces across our region. To build a clean and beautiful Asia-Pacific, we should prioritize ecological protection, promote resources conservation and their efficient use as well as green and low-carbon development, and engineer an?all-round green transition in economic and social development. We need to?push forward coordinated digital and green?transformation and development to create new momentum and new drivers for Asia-Pacific development.China is developing new quality productive forces in light?of actual conditions?and deepening cooperation with interested?parties?on green innovation. China will launch a?Global Cross-Border Data Flow Cooperation Initiative, and seek?deeper?cooperation with other?parties to promote efficient, convenient and secure cross-border data flows. China has put forward initiatives in the APEC framework concerning, among others, the application of digital bill of lading, capacity building on green supply chains, exchanges and dialogue on approaches to AI, and the digitalization of food supply chains,?with a view to contributing?to high-quality development of the Asia-Pacific.Third, we need to uphold a universally beneficial and inclusive vision for Asia-Pacific development.?We should make good use of the APEC platform to strengthen economic and technical cooperation. We should?increase support for developing economies and disadvantaged groups, and work together to grow the pie and distribute it equitably?to allow more economies and people to benefit from development. This year, Peru has been actively promoting?cooperation on?the transition from the informal economy to the formal and global economy. China welcomes this effort which dovetails?with our development philosophy?of putting people first,?promoting social fairness and justice and improving the people's well-being.?China will advance initiatives through the?APEC platform on?increasing residents'?income?and promoting the industrial cluster?development?of small-?and medium-sized enterprises,?for the purpose of bringing about?universally beneficial and inclusive development of?Asia-Pacific?economies.China will host APEC 2026. We?look forward to working with all parties to deepen Asia-Pacific cooperation to the benefit of the peoples in the region.Colleagues,Reform and opening up is a historic process in which China and the world achieve development and progress together.?A few months ago, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, at its third plenum,?laid out?systematic plans for further deepening reform across the board?to advance Chinese modernization.?More than 300 consequential?reform measures were unveiled?pertaining to?building a high-standard socialist market economy, advancing high-quality economic development, promoting high-standard opening up, improving the people's quality of life, and building a beautiful country. China's further development will provide new opportunities for the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.An ancient Chinese sage?observed, "A?man of virtue, while establishing himself and pursuing success, also works to help?others establish themselves and succeed."?There is a similar saying in Latin America?which?goes, "The only way to be profitably national is to be generously universal."?China welcomes all parties to continue riding the "express train"?of its development and grow together with the Chinese?economy?so that we can all contribute to the modernization of all countries featuring peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity.Thank you.

China and Peru, are both ancient civilizations. They inherit from their rich cultural heritages the wisdom and an open mind to appreciate the trajectory of history, move with the trend of the times, and value equality, mutual respect, mutual trust and mutual learning, setting a strong example of solidarity and cooperation between countries of different sizes, systems, and cultures. Xi Jinping said that over the past 53 years of diplomatic relations, in particular, since his first state visit to Peru in 2016, trade and investment cooperation between the two sides has grown rapidly under joint efforts, bringing tangible benefits to the people of the two countries. The two sides need to review past success, improve and upgrade practical cooperation and bring the China-Peru comprehensive strategic partnership to still new heights and better benefit the two peoples.Xi Jinping pointed out that the two sides should synergize their development strategies, fully explore the potential for cooperation, create a new pattern of practical cooperation, strengthen the two drivers of trade and investment, develop the two wings of traditional and emerging industries, and better connect the two sets of industrial and supply chains. China is ready to further expand the import of high-quality specialty agricultural products from Peru, encourage capable Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Peru, and make due contributions to local development. Both sides should promote cooperation in traditional areas such as minerals and energy, infrastructure, and transportation and communications, and expand cooperation in emerging sectors like digital economy, artificial intelligence, green shipping, electric vehicles, and photovoltaic industry. China is ready to encourage Chinese enterprises to participate in Peru's infrastructure development for "physical connectivity" and promote "institutional connectivity" through smart customs. Chinese enterprises have overcome difficulties and completed the first phase of the Chancay Port project, fully demonstrating China's determination to engage in long-term strategic cooperation with Peru. China is ready to work with Peru to fully leverage the location advantage of Chancay Port, develop a new land-sea corridor between China and Latin America with Chancay Port as the starting point, explore ways to establish a comprehensive, diversified, and efficient connectivity architecture that extends from coastal areas to inland areas, and from Peru to other Latin American countries, so as to promote the overall development and integration of Latin America and the Caribbean region. China supports the establishment of a sister-city relationship between Suzhou City and Chancay, and is ready to exchange experience on industrial park construction with Peru, expand cooperation in such areas as cross-border services trade and e-commerce, and leverage cluster effects and synergies to generate more practical results to strengthen confidence in the long-term friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides. China is also ready to establish local Luban Workshops and Chinese Language workshops in line with Peru's development needs and carry out vocational education cooperation to provide localized talents as well as intellectual and technical support for Peru.Xi Jinping stressed that the two sides should increase exchanges of governance experience, enhance strategic mutual trust, firmly support each other's core interests and major concerns, and enhance cooperation in such areas as combating corruption and illegal fishing. The two sides should shoulder the responsibility of the times of mutual learning among civilizations, advocate strengthening international dialogue among civilizations, and explore the establishment of a global network for dialogue and cooperation among civilizations. The two sides should also fortify the synergy of cultural policies and deepen exchanges and cooperation in culture, art, education and cultural heritage protection. China is ready to increase the number of scholarships for Peru. Xi Jinping expressed the hope that the young people of the two countries get to know each other and carry forward the China-Peru friendship from generation to generation.Noting that the Asia-Pacific economies are deeply integrated, Xi Jinping pointed out that it serves the common interests of the Asia-Pacific family and the Global South to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, as well as maintain regional stability and prosperity. Both China and Peru advocate multilateralism and oppose protectionism. China fully supports the work of Peru as the host of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, and is ready to work with all parties to ensure the success of the meeting and promote the building of an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future. China is also ready to continue to strengthen communication and coordination with Peru within the framework of the China-CELAC Forum and make positive contributions to the development of the relationship between China and Latin America and the Caribbean countries.Boluarte warmly welcomed President Xi Jinping's visit. Noting that Peru and China are two ancient civilizations, she said that a large number of overseas Chinese have made positive contributions to Peru's national development in history, and the two peoples enjoy profound friendship and are friendly brothers and friends. China has long been Peru's most important trading partner, and in particular, cooperation in various fields has achieved fruitful results since the two sides carried out Belt and Road cooperation, which fully demonstrates the firm commitment of the two countries to pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation and common development. During President Xi Jinping's visit, the two sides will sign a number of key cooperation agreements, including a protocol on upgrading the bilateral free trade agreement, which will effectively promote further development of bilateral economic and trade relations as well as cooperation in various fields. In particular, the opening of Chancay Port makes "from Chancay to Shanghai" a reality and becomes an important bridge between Latin America and Asia as well as a key engine for Peru's economic growth, which will strongly promote more efficient and convenient connectivity and trade between Peru and other Latin American countries, as well as China and even Asia at large, and push for sustainable development of the two countries and other regional countries. The Peruvian side welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Peru and participate in cooperation projects in such crucial areas as infrastructure, resources and energy, and transportation. Boluarte reiterated Peru's firm adherence to the one-China principle, saying that Peru is ready to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations as well as cultural and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation with China, and strengthen their youth and personnel exchanges. She thanked China for its important and valuable support for Peru's hosting of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting. Peru adheres to multilateralism and looks forward to strengthening communication and coordination with China within APEC and other frameworks, so as to contribute to long-term peace, stability, development and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.

China-Peru Friendship: Setting Sail Toward an Even Brighter Future
Xi JinpingPresident of the People's Republic of ChinaEarly summer in the Southern Hemisphere?is a season?brimming?with vitality and hope. At the invitation of President Dina Boluarte, I will soon pay a state visit to the Republic of Peru and attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders'?Meeting.This?is my second?visit?to Peru, a "neighbor"?of China across the Pacific Ocean, since I took office as President of?the People's Republic of China. Peru is home to ancient civilizations such as Caral, Chavín, Chimú,?and Inca.?Peruvians endearingly refer to the Chinese people as?paisano.?Peru's Congress has?recently declared every February 1 as the Peru-China Fraternity Day. Chinese restaurants in Peru are called?chifa, which is similar to the Chinese word?chifan, meaning dining. Every time I came?here, I was?overwhelmed?by the friendly sentiments of the Peruvian people toward the Chinese?people.This bond of friendship and affection is rooted in?the wisdom of our ancient civilizations. The Chinese civilization is the only one in the world that has continued uninterrupted for more than 5,000 years. The maritime civilization represented by Caral and the continental?civilization represented by Inca are a testament to the time-honored history, profound richness,?and tremendous diversity of the Peruvian civilization.?It is widely believed in the?archeology communities of China and other countries that?the Chinese?civilization?and?the civilizations of the Americas were in fact created by descendants of the same ancestors at?different periods and?different locations. Through the?wisdom of?our?civilizations, our minds find common ground and our hearts resonate. The Chinese people always regard "sincerity?as a fundamental principle"?and "benevolence?as an essential?virtue." The Incas?believe in the rules of "Do not steal, do not lie, and do not be lazy."?The Peruvian thinker José Carlos Mariátegui once said, "Spiritually and materially, China is closer to us than Europe.?The psychology of our people is more Asian than Western."?This is the "code of civilization" that explains the inseparable bond between immigrants of Chinese origin and the local people, forged through?seamless integration and familial ties over the past 175 years. A documentary titled?From the Great Wall to Machu Picchu?will soon premiere?in Peru under the auspices?of the broadcasting and television authorities of the two countries. Also?to be screened in Peru are?a number of popular Chinese film and television productions including?3 Body Problem.?I believe that they will?help our Peruvian friends know more about China.This bond of friendship and affection is a legacy that?shines?brightly across the ages through our respective histories.?Many told me that Chinese and Peruvian peoples would feel an instant warmth upon their first encounters and would have a?déjà?vu?when appreciating each other's ancient artifacts. For example, the gold masks?of the Incas?unearthed in?Peru?are strikingly similar to the gold masks uncovered at an archeological?site at Sanxingdui?in China's Sichuan Province. The Intihuatana?stone on an altar in?the ancient city of Machu Picchu, which the Incas used to mark the seasons and compose calendars according to?changes of?solar?shadows, was in fact based on the same principle that inspired the creation of?sundials in?ancient China. The people of?the ancient Shu kingdom in what is now China's Sichuan Province?expressed reverence for?the sun and the sun god through?the image of a soaring?sunbird. The Inca civilization expressed its sun worship the same way. The longing for brightness was valued in both of our cultures. Last year, the "Journey Through Civilization" exhibition arrived in?Peru?as part of its world tour. "The Inca Sky Road South American Continental Andean Culture Exhibition" and the?"Inca and Their Tawantinsuyu: The Land of Four Quarters"?were on display in?China. These events are an immediate hit among our peoples.?An exhibition of "Great Ancient Civilizations: China and the Tawantinsuyo?in Peru" is now jointly held?by the two countries?in Peru.?You are most welcome to visit the exhibition to see the remarkable commonality and connections between our splendid civilizations.The bond of our friendship and affection?has become stronger through China-Peru win-win cooperation.?Peru was one of the first Latin American countries to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. For over 50 years, our bilateral relations have been progressing steadily. Especially since?the elevation of our relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2013, our ties have grown stronger and our results-oriented cooperation have been fruitful, bringing tangible?benefits?to our?peoples. In fighting the COVID-19?pandemic, China sent a medical expert team to Peru. We also?provided vaccines and?other medical supplies to the best of our ability. We have proven through concrete actions that China is a trustworthy friend that Peru can rely on in crucial moments. Peru is the first Latin American country to sign a package FTA with China. It is also among the first in Latin America to participate in cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. China has been Peru's largest trading partner and largest export market for 10?consecutive years. Last year, Peru's exports to China accounted for 36?percent of its total exports. Chinese businesses have an investment stock of about?US$30 billion in Peru. The Las Bambas copper mine, a project with investment from Chinese enterprises, contributes to about?1 percent of Peru's GDP, creating tens of thousands of job opportunities. The Saúl Garrido Rosillo Hospital in Tumbes, a project undertaken by?a Chinese enterprise, will serve over 100,000 local residents. The water project in the three districts of Lima?will enable more than?400,000 people to access clean water and sanitation services.As an ancient Chinese saying goes, "Bringing benefit to the people is the fundamental principle of governance." There is also a Peruvian saying, "The voice of the people is the voice of God."?Both China and Peru are striving for a better life?for?the people. We must?build on?our traditional friendship?to?expand and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation across the board, and make it more responsive to the requirements of the new era. Last July, the 20th?Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held its third plenary session, endorsing a master plan?for further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization. This means new opportunities?for Peru and the world, and promises a bright future for China-Peru mutually beneficial cooperation.?During my upcoming visit, President Boluarte and I will attend via video the inauguration ceremony of Chancay Port. This is not only an important?project under Belt and Road cooperation, but also the first smart port in South America. The first phase of the project, when completed, will?reduce the sea shipping time from Peru to China to 23 days,?thus cutting?logistics costs by at least 20 percent. It is expected to?generate US$4.5 billion in yearly revenues for Peru and create over 8,000?direct jobs.?The completion of Chancay Port will enable Peru to put in place a multi-dimensional, diverse and efficient network of connectivity spanning from?coast to inland,?from Peru to Latin America and further on to the Caribbean. It will also?help build an Inca Trail?of the New Era?with Chancay Port as its?starting point, thus boosting?the overall development and integration of?the region.?The port's development plan also includes establishing animal rescue services to?fulfill?its?social responsibility?for the rescue and protection of penguins, seals?and birds and to improve the environment of wetlands, beaches,?and habitats.?It is thus very important that we work together to ensure the success of Chancay Port from construction through operation, so that the route from Chancay to Shanghai?will lead China, Peru and Latin America to common development and prosperity. China is also ready to?launch in Peru more "small and beautiful" livelihood cooperation projects, open more Luban Workshops?and centers for Chinese language?and professional skills, and strengthen cooperation?on vocational education. We will encourage Chinese companies to create more jobs and fulfill their social responsibilities?in Peru, making our?paisano?friendship more tangible and beneficial.Our two countries?should stand up to the responsibility to our times concerning mutual learning among civilizations. We should strengthen exchange and cooperation in culture,?arts, education, scientific research, tourism, youth, cultural heritage protection, archeology?and other areas. We should take more measures to?facilitate personnel exchanges to garner greater?public support for our relations. We?should enhance?cooperation under the framework of the Ancient Civilization Forum. We should explore the establishment of?a?global network for dialogue and cooperation among civilizations, and support their exchanges and mutual learning. We should ensure that civilizations, diverse in many ways,?complement each other and shine brightly together, just like the multicolored pools of China's Jiuzhaigou and Peru's Salt Terraces of Maras, thus making greater contributions to the progress of human civilization.This will be the third time that APEC economic leaders meet in Peru after the country successfully hosted the meetings of 2008 and 2016. The themes of the three meetings, from?"A New Commitment to Asia-Pacific Development" to "Quality Growth and Human Development," and on to this year's "Empower,?Include,?Grow," attest to Peru's firm resolve to promote an open Asia-Pacific economy and world economic growth. They also represent a strong "Lima Voice"?for?openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation. China firmly supports Peru's presidency of APEC and will work closely with Peru?to ensure a successful and productive meeting, enhance Asia-Pacific cooperation?with a "Lima Imprint,"?and make new contributions to building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future.The world is undergoing faster transformation?unseen in a century.?Humanity has again come to a crossroads in history. To fully appreciate the grandeur of the Nazca Lines, we must view them from a height?because at the ground level, their true splendor remains hidden from view.To quote a Chinese poem to the same effect,?"Fear not the clouds that obscure your view, for you stand atop the highest summit." China is ready to join Peru in?embracing a broader vision and grasping the underlying trends of our times from a long historical perspective to champion?true multilateralism, promote?an equal and orderly multipolar world?and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, jointly implement the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative,?and build together a community with a shared future for mankind.As our friends in Latin America often say, without courage, one will never conquer the mountains or cross the sea.?On a new historical juncture, China is ready to work hand in hand?with our Peruvian friends?with one heart and with the same goal and steer the ship of our friendship toward an even brighter future.
