Lima, March 10 (Xinhua) — China is a key force driving global development and change – Interview with former Executive Director of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Secretariat, Kapunai
Juan Carlos Kapuenai, former Executive Director of the Secretariat of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and former Peruvian Ambassador to China, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency recently that China’s “15th Five Year Plan” reflects China’s long-term strategic thinking in promoting modernization, and Chinese path to modernization will continue to provide an important driving force for global development.
Kapunai has been following the news of China’s two sessions recently. He told reporters that the development goals and policy directions proposed and discussed during the conference provide an important window for the world to observe China’s future development trends. The development achievements of China are closely related to the scientific formulation and subsequent implementation of the five-year plan. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, facing the complex and ever-changing international situation, China still maintained a strong development momentum and achieved unexpected results in many fields. China is constantly consolidating the foundation of modernization construction
Against the backdrop of continuously rising global uncertainty, China’s development is not only related to its own modernization process, but also of great significance to the stability and development of the world, “said Kapunai.” From the economy, society, culture to global governance, China has had a profound impact on the world at multiple levels and has become a key force in promoting global development
Kapunai said that in order to understand the many development trends in the world today, it is necessary to observe China. For example, when people talk about the growth of the global consumer market, they should pay attention to the huge scale of the Chinese consumer market; When discussing the improvement of production capacity, we cannot ignore the development and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry.
Kapunayi said that as the world’s second largest economy and one of the major economies with the most stable growth in the world, China is committed to promoting international trade exchanges, promoting free trade agreements, and promoting the joint construction of the “the Belt and Road” cooperation. Through its own development, China continues to provide new opportunities for the development of Asia, Latin America, Africa and other regions, especially playing an increasingly important role in promoting technological innovation and international investment.
At the same time, China has become more proactive in participating in international affairs and global governance, and its four major global initiatives complement each other, attracting widespread attention and profound resonance in the international community, “he said.
Kapunai highly looks forward to the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Informal Meeting to be held in Shenzhen, China this year, believing that this important window will “reflect China’s efforts to promote Asia Pacific cooperation and its contribution to global economic development”.
