APEC and China-Vietnam regional cooperation

Overview

APEC ministers held a virtual meeting to prepare for the upcoming Economic Leaders’ Week in Shenzhen, China. The discussions focused on strengthening multilateral trade systems, enhancing supply chain resilience, and the role of artificial intelligence in boosting regional productivity. Vietnam, the future host of APEC in 2027, highlighted the need for digital technology research and open economic spaces.

Following these discussions, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Beijing during the 11th Lancang-Mekong Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. They discussed regional economic integration and the responsible application of digital technologies. Minister Wang expressed China's intention to promote connectivity across land, sea, and air, while also noting the importance of stability in the South China Sea.

On November 3, the 37th APEC Ministerial Meeting was held virtually, co-chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
