Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on the 15th that the APEC Digital Week series of activities will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan. This is one of the most important and richly arranged events among the professional ministerial meetings of the APEC series. The "China Year" of APEC has passed halfway, and cooperation in various fields has been steadily advancing. I believe that with the subsequent activities being carried out one after another, everyone will find that the second half of the "China Year" of APEC is equally wonderful.
At today's regular press conference, a reporter asked: We have noticed that on July 16, APEC Digital Week will kick off in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In terms of schedule, apart from the APEC Ministerial Meeting on Digital Economy and Artificial Intelligence, High-level Forum on Artificial Intelligence, and High-level Roundtable on Data for Growth, there will also be meetings of the APEC Telecommunications Working Group and the Steering Group on Digital Economy during the Digital Week, as well as activities such as data-enabled medical care, animation and cultural creativity, smart city and artificial intelligence applications. As this year's host of APEC, how will China promote consensus and cooperation among APEC economies in the field of artificial intelligence and other digital technologies? What is China's outlook for the second half of the "China Year" of APEC?
Lin Jian said that this year is APEC "China Year". As the host of APEC in 2026, China will hold more than 10 professional ministerial meetings or high-level activities throughout the year. Among them, the APEC Digital Week series of activities will be held in Chengdu, Sichuan, the city of innovation and creation in western China. This is one of the most important and richly arranged activities among the APEC series of professional ministerial meetings. At present, artificial intelligence and other digital technologies have become key elements to promote new quality productivity and achieve innovative growth. It has become a common task for all parties to "use AI well and manage risks" and "transform innovative vitality into growth momentum." We believe that the APEC Digital Week will become an important platform for all parties to deeply discuss and deepen the inclusive development of artificial intelligence, promote digital empowerment cooperation, data development and utilization, and also provide opportunities for all parties to experience the achievements of Chinese scientific and technological innovation and the development of new quality productivity.
Lin Jian said that APEC "China Year" is halfway through, and cooperation in various fields has been steadily advancing. All parties actively participated in relevant professional ministerial meetings and high-level officials' meetings, engaged in in-depth exchanges on the theme of "building an Asia-Pacific community for common prosperity" and three priority areas of "openness, innovation and cooperation," and gathered a series of early harvests. "We have noticed some comments saying that since China took over the rotating presidency, APEC's 'China Year' series of activities have seen heightened international participation, a systematic and compact meeting layout, and professional and diversified topics. I believe that with subsequent events being carried out one after another, everyone will find that the second half of APEC's 'China Year' is equally exciting. China will continue to be a good host, work together with all parties to promote achievements in various fields and mechanisms, maximize consensus-building, lay a solid foundation for the leaders' meeting in November, and make greater contributions to the development and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. We welcome journalists to continue paying attention to and reporting on the activities and progress of APEC's 'China Year' in various fields." (Outlook New Era)
