Peruvian president calls on companies to work for growth at APEC 2016

Xinhua, November 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

Peruvian President, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, opened the 2016 APEC CEO Summit on Friday by calling on entrepreneurs from across the bloc to work to improve economic growth.

"We know where we are headed," expressed Kuczynski to a crowd of businesspeople from the 21 APEC member economies, during the on-going APEC Economic Leaders' Week.

As the host, Kuczynski said that his government is working hard to improve economic growth but this must involve a joint effort between the public and private sectors.

He expressed to the audience the importance of working hard to improve commercial ties, which must accompany the movement of capital and the creation of investments in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Trade, trade, trade. (This is) very important. After that comes investment and growth, which are crucial," said Kuczynski. Endit
