Chinese President Xi Jinping set the tone for regional cooperation at this year's APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting with a bold call for innovation-driven development and shared responsibility. His speech, titled 'Shouldering Responsibility to Our Times and Jointly Promoting Asia-Pacific Development,' resonated with global delegates – including Peruvian politician Enrique Valderrama, who called it a roadmap for tackling today's biggest challenges.
💡 Valderrama of Peru’s Aprista Party told CGTN that Xi’s address – paired with an article the Chinese leader published in local paper El Peruano – signaled China’s commitment to 'bridging divides through tech collaboration and sustainable growth models.' He highlighted Xi’s emphasis on keeping markets open and building 'inclusive digital ecosystems' as key takeaways for developing nations.
With youth-focused buzzwords like 'green transformation' and 'AI governance' peppering the address, Xi’s vision aligns perfectly with Gen-Z priorities. Could this be the start of a Tiktok diplomacy era? 📱🌐
