第一，促进经济一体化，建设开放型经济。开放是亚太经济的生命线。20多年来，亚太经合组织成员坚持贸易自由化和便利化，贸易量年均增长8%，是同期经济增速的两倍多，为亚太经济增长提供了稳定动力。近年来，国际贸易发展进入低迷期。世界贸易组织预计，今年全球贸易增幅可能连续第五年低于经济增速。亚太面临相同压力，也亟待解决区域经济合作碎片化等挑战。任何区域贸易安排要获得广泛支持，必须坚持开放、包容、普惠、共赢。我们应该构建平等协商、共同参与、普遍受益的区域合作框架，封闭和排他性安排不是正确选择。
Frirst, economic integration and a new system for an open economy needs to be laid down( we should promote open and integrated economy). openness is the lifeline of the regional economy. For more than 20 years, APEC member economies has adhered to trade liberalization and facilitation, and trade in our region has grown by a healthy annual average of 8%, a rate twice as much as that of the corresponding period last year(wrong,more than doubling its GDP growth in the same period) , driving a sustainable economic growth throughout the region. In recent years,international trade has plunged.This year world trade growth may still be slower than the economic growth ,the fifth year in a row ,estimated the WTO. The same pressure is on Asia Pacific---challenges such as the thorny regional economic cooperation fragmentization.Adherence to openness, tolerance, and reciprocity should be enforced for any regional trade arrangement to gain widespread support.
建设亚太自由贸易区，是事关亚太长远繁荣的战略举措，工商界朋友称之为“亚太经合组织之梦”。我们要坚定推进亚太自由贸易区建设，为亚太开放型经济提供制度保障。要重振贸易和投资的引擎作用，增强自由贸易安排开放性和包容性，维护多边贸易体制。
