BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao's active engagement at the APEC meetings in Hawaii was conducive to strengthening China's relations with other APEC members, increasing their understanding and support of China and setting the direction of future regional cooperation, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said.
During Hu's stay in Honolulu, the president engaged in highly intensive diplomatic activities, including delivering a keynote speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' meeting and joining CEO summit.
At the meetings, Hu explained China's view on the world and regional economic situations and China's position on Asia-Pacific cooperation, and outlined China's pro-growth economic measures and its concept of win-win cooperation, Yang said.
PUSHING FORWARD LONG-TERM, STABLE, RAPID ECONOMIC GROWTH IN ASIA-PACIFIC
The foreign minister said Hu also called on all parties to properly deal with the deep-level problems existing in the world economy, which had been exposed in the international financial crisis.
The Chinese leader urged APEC members to implement the APEC Leaders' Growth Strategy adopted last year in Yokohama, Japan, speed up the shift in the mode of economic growth, and continue to push forward economic globalization and economic integration in the region, according to Yang.
Hu also put a specific emphasis on the importance of job creation as a key way to consolidate and expand the fruits of economic and social development and technological cooperation between APEC members.
Hu's remarks gave a comprehensive analysis of the real problems facing world economic growth and what is needed for world economic growth in the long run.
INCREASING UNDERSTANDING, RECOGNITION OF CHINESE POLICIES
Hu briefed other APEC leaders at the meetings on China's policies and measures to promote economic development and social harmony, including pursuing development in a scientific way and efforts to shift the growth pattern.
He pledged that China would continue to deepen economic reforms, improve the environment for commerce and investment, enhance ecological civilization, endeavor to develop a green economy, strengthen the protection of intellectual property, advance innovation, improve the level of openness, and actively engage in global governance and regional cooperation.
Hu said China's rapid development would become an important driver and source of economic growth of the Asia-Pacific region as well as the world, and would provide opportunities and a strong guarantee for other APEC members.
