IN SAME BOAT "I was looking at the vast ocean when I boarded the ship, and it struck me that we are all indeed fellow passengers in the same boat," Xi said while addressing the 2018 APEC CEO Summit hosted at a distinctive setting -- onboard the giant cruise Pacific Explorer in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. During the 30th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting held in San Francisco last year, Xi posed a critical question: "Where will Asia-Pacific cooperation be headed in the next 30 years?" Five years later in Port Moresby, he advocated for jointly building "a community with a shared future in the Asia-Pacific" to address common challenges. In 2020, as the world grappled with the pandemic and its economic fallout, Xi, while attending the annual APEC gathering via video link, elaborated on his vision to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future featuring openness and inclusiveness, innovation-driven growth, greater connectivity, and mutually beneficial cooperation.
