Second, speed up the implementation of growth strategy and improve the quality of economic growth.

We should have a deep understanding of the importance of economic growth strategy and enhance the initiative and steadiness in carrying out the strategy. We should implement it through various forms such as policy exchange, capacity building and cooperation projects.

APEC should strengthen coordination among all the agencies, form joint efforts, strengthen cooperation with the group of twenty and other mechanisms, give full play to its advantages and complement each other, so as to accelerate the recovery and growth of the Asia Pacific region's economy and the world economy.

Third, we should strengthen economic and technological cooperation, enhance the independent development capacity and endogenous driving force of developing members.
