The success of the 32nd APEC Summit Week carried many important messages for the world and the region.

Firstly, the message is to continue to maintain economic cooperation and connectivity, and enhance the resilience of economies. In the context of many challenges in multilateral trade, increasing protectionism and isolationism, APEC leaders meeting and dialogue in a constructive spirit, proposing solutions to promote trade, investment, and enhance economic connectivity is very important.

This conference discussed current issues and new trends of strategic significance for the future of the world and the region. These are the strong advances in science and technology; issues of energy and sustainable energy transition; and challenges of demographic change. In particular, digital transformation and artificial intelligence are the overarching discussion content of this year's conference, not only on the agenda of leaders but also in business conferences and public-private dialogues. This affirms APEC's pioneering role in orienting and leading changes in the digital age and creating a sustainable and inclusive future.

The third message is the importance of public-private partnership, maximizing social resources to serve development goals and transform the growth model of member economies. The APEC High-Level Week 2025 continues to be a great festival for nearly 2,000 leaders of leading corporations and enterprises in the region, participating in a series of activities including broad and narrow dialogues with leaders, the Business Summit and business networking sessions. Thereby, the business community not only shares visions and development strategies but also proposes many practical initiatives and recommendations on green transformation, digital transformation, human resource development and enhancing the resilience of the supply chain. The accompaniment and proactive contributions of the business sector have helped APEC become a dynamic, practical forum where ideas from the private sector are listened to and transformed into policies.

Firstly, the President clearly affirmed Vietnam's viewpoints and approaches to major issues facing the future development of the region and the world. He also proposed proposals and solutions for APEC cooperation to become more substantive and effective, responding to the rapid changes taking place and bringing practical benefits to the development of the region and each member economy. The spirit of initiative, responsibility, the approach promoting multilateralism, solidarity, international cooperation, as well as recommendations and solutions suitable to Vietnam's reality have made important contributions to the overall success of the Conference, thereby continuing to enhance Vietnam's role and position in APEC, as well as multilateral mechanisms.

Second, the President conveyed to the APEC community a clear message about Vietnam's vision, policies and strong determination to innovate, especially major resolutions on national development in the new era. Through this activity, Vietnam deeply shared its development orientation, promoted investment attraction, and promoted cooperation in priority areas such as digital transformation, green transformation, innovation and high-quality human resource development. President Luong Cuong's speeches and messages made a strong impression on leaders and the business community about a Vietnam determined to innovate, innovate and integrate to rise up and progress with the times in the current period of profound transformation.

Third, within the framework of his working trip to attend the 32nd APEC Summit Week, President Luong Cuong had a rich, effective and substantive bilateral working program with the host country, Korea, and many APEC member economies. The President held talks with the President of Korea, received local leaders of Korea, and met with the Vietnamese community in the Southeast region of Korea, contributing to deepening political trust and the Vietnam-Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The President also had many talks and meetings with leaders and heads of delegations of most APEC member economies to continuously strengthen the good relations and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and its partners, especially promoting cooperation in economics, trade, investment, science and technology, and new fields such as digital transformation, green transformation, artificial intelligence, etc.

It is a great pleasure that APEC members and the business community have enthusiastically supported, expressed their trust and expressed their anticipation of coming to Vietnam and Phu Quoc in 2027 to participate in the activities of APEC Year 2027 hosted by Vietnam. This is an honor, a pride and also a great responsibility that we need to make every effort to fulfill well, thereby continuing to contribute to promoting the APEC cooperation process, and at the same time contributing to the successful implementation of Resolution No. 59 on international integration in the new situation that our Party has set out./.
