2014年中国再次作为东道主主办APEC会议,将亚太自贸区建设作为重要内容,希望取得实质性成果。随着亚太地区经济的深度融合以及区域经济一体化带来的新挑战,APEC需要启动FTAAP进程,通过不断加深各成员合作,推进已有的TPP、RCEP等,为地区经济发展构建更加自由、开放、便利的制度框架,引领“后茂物目标”时代的亚太区域经济一体化方向。中国应当充分发挥建设性作用,积极推动FTAAP进程,并为可能启动的谈判做好准备。
China will host the APEC meeting again in 2014 and has set the establishment of Free Trade Area of Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) on the most important agenda of APEC meeting, hoping to get substantial achievement on this issue. Because of the deepening economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region and the new challenges brought about by regional economic integration, APEC needs to launch FTAAP, promote existent TPP, RCEP, and establish, through deepening cooperation among APEC members, freer, more open, and more convenient institutional framework for the development of regional economy. APEC needs to guide the economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region in the Post-Bogor Goals era, and China should play a key constructive role in promoting the establishment of FTAAP and prepare for possible talks.
