Accordingly, APEC members need to form a common strategic vision on developing an innovation ecosystem and promoting a pioneering role in digital economic and AI governance, especially building necessary standards and rules to ensure a balance between business development motivation and the legitimate rights of people and social progress as well as equal opportunities among economies.

Sharing Vietnam's viewpoint, President Luong Cuong emphasized that science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are the foundation for a new development stage associated with rapid and sustainable growth; and "innovation is the cause of all people, of the whole society, requiring the participation of all levels, all sectors, business communities of all economic sectors and all people".

At the end of the conference, APEC leaders adopted the Gyeongju Declaration , affirming their strong commitment to jointly promoting new growth drivers, promoting the potential and strengths of the Forum, towards the goal of building an open, dynamic, self-reliant and peaceful Asia-Pacific community for the prosperity of all people and future generations.
