1st LD: Nothing should be allowed to disrupt Asia-Pacific development: Xi

Xinhua, November 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

Chinese President Xi Jinping said here Wednesday that Asia-Pacific economies should never allow anything to disrupt the region's development process.

Addressing an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO summit, Xi urged APEC members to spare no efforts to foster a peaceful environment conducive to development.

Asia-Pacific nations, Xi added, should respect each other's development paths chosen in line with their respective conditions and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation.

He also expressed his confidence that the vast Pacific Ocean will become a bridge of cooperation, a bond of friendship and a common home for people across the Asia-Pacific region. Endi
