We Talk: Mexican youth shares takes and expectations on President Xi Jinping’s speech #CGTN

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday delivered a speech at the first session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting under the title “Building an Inclusive Open Asia-Pacific Economy for All.” He said, “We should stay true to APEC’s founding mission to promote economic growth and improve people’s lives, and champion open development where everyone shares opportunities and emerges as a winner. We should promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization and build an Asia-Pacific community.”

Moraima Ordoñez, a Mexican student at Peking University, said that the president’s speech outlined a clear direction for future Asia-Pacific cooperation and development, stressing the importance of open trade and mutual benefit. As a young person from an APEC economy, she expressed hope that the region will strengthen cooperation by creating global pathways for the younger generation. “Youth are the bridge to the future and under the idea of inclusion, young people must play an active role through open channels of communication and participation,” she said.
