        "content": "<p>Beijing \u2014 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that as the host of\nthe Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2026, China wants to truly\nrealise the organisation\u2019s plans into real action. \u2018As a good host, all\nof China's work throughout the year will focus on one thing: turning the\ndevelopment of an Asia-Pacific community from a plan into action, from\nblueprints into reality,\u2019 said Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a press\nconference on \u2018China's diplomacy and foreign policy\u2019 in Beijing on\nSunday. China will host APEC 2026 under the broad theme \u2018Building an\nAsia-Pacific Community for Shared Prosperity\u2019. The summit is planned for\nNovember 2026 in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. \u2018The concept of the\nAsia-Pacific community has been proposed for decades, but this concept\nmust not stop on paper and must not be limited to a visionary level. We\nhope to find the answers in Shenzhen, to rally consensus among all\nparties,\u2019 said Wang Yi. The APEC 2026 summit is expected to clarify\npriority areas and articulate viable steps so that the development of\nthe Asia-Pacific community becomes a shared consensus and a lived\npractice for people in the region. \u2018APEC Shenzhen will focus on three\nmain priority areas\u2014openness, innovation, and cooperation\u2014to once again\nclarify the direction of Asia-Pacific cooperation at a crossroads and to\nrally strength once more,\u2019 said Wang Yi. Wang Yi said China will build\nthe main pillars for developing the Asia-Pacific community, coordinate\nvarious routes toward the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area (FTAAP) and plan\narrangements for regional connectivity. \u2018In addition, we are actively\npromoting three major transformations: digitalisation, artificial\nintelligence, and the environment. Throughout this year we will organise\nmore than 300 activities in many cities and provinces, and all APEC\nmembers will have the opportunity to contribute,\u2019 added Wang Yi. China\nhas hosted three times: in 2021 in Shanghai, 2014 in Beijing, and in\n2026 in Shenzhen. \u2018Over the past 25 years, APEC has traversed a journey\nof challenges and ups and downs in regional cooperation, while also\nwitnessing that the original intent of China and the Asia-Pacific to\nwalk together has never wavered,\u2019 said Wang Yi. Shenzhen, Wang Yi said,\nis an important window into China's reform and opening-up, a bright\nshowcase for China's distinctive socialism and a vanguard of innovation\nin the Guangdong\u2013Hong Kong\u2013Macao Greater Bay Area. \u2018We are prepared,\nwith all parties, to push APEC to again set sail from Shenzhen towards\nthe goal of an Asia-Pacific Community,\u2019 added Wang Yi. APEC is a forum\nfor cooperation among 21 economies around the Pacific Rim, established\nin 1989. APEC members are Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile,\nChina, Hong Kong-China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea (South Korea), Malaysia,\nMexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Peru, Papua New Guinea, Russia,\nSingapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam. Cooperation\nwithin APEC is non-political in nature, marked by the membership of Hong\nKong and Taiwan. APEC members are referred to as \u2018economies\u2019 because\neach member interacts with one another as an economic entity, and not as\na country. The main objective of APEC is laid out in the long-term\nvision document APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040, agreed in 2020. This vision\nsupersedes the Bogor Goals, which had been APEC\u2019s long-term vision since\n1994.<\/p>",
