As the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting kicks off in the Republic of Korea this week, young voices like Navira Putri Apriliani are stepping into the spotlight. The Indonesian management consultant, who’s no stranger to APEC forums, shared her vision for how the platform can shape a brighter future for young people across the Asia-Pacific. 🌱
“APEC isn’t just about economics—it’s about connection,” Navira told NewspaperAmigo.com. Having participated in APEC’s Voices of the Future program and the 2022 CEO Summit, she sees the meetings as a launchpad for youth-driven innovation. 💼✨
With sustainability and collaboration as this year’s themes, Navira hopes APEC will prioritize initiatives that equip young professionals with skills for tomorrow’s challenges. “Imagine a regional network where young minds co-create solutions for green tech or inclusive education,” she said. “That’s the power of APEC.”
Looking ahead to Indonesia hosting APEC in 2025, Navira is already brainstorming ways to amplify youth participation. “This is our chance to turn ideas into action,” she added. Could APEC become Gen-Z’s ultimate collab project? Stay tuned. 🚀
