Happy to meet the APEC - Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders virtually this evening to discuss how we can combat COVID-19 and accelerate economic recovery together.
I highlighted 3 areas of collaboration for APEC: preparing for the next pandemic, as COVID-19 will not be the last nor the most serious pandemic the world will face; reconnecting our economies and liberalising trade; and cooperating on new growth areas in the digital and green economy.
We can overcome our shared challenges by working closely as a region, so that we all emerge stronger into a better post-COVID-19 future.
Thank you to New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern for convening this informal APEC Leaders’ Retreat. Look forward to when we can all meet in person again. – LHL
