This May\, APEC Minister s Responsible for Trade(MRT) has also pointed out the importance of intern ational trade system for productivity\, innovation\, job creation and deve lopment. As the cornerstone of economic globalization and free trade\, the important contribution of the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core has been recognized by APEC economies . However\, due to the increasingly serious unilateralism and protectionis m\, multilateralism and free trade system have been impacted\, and WTO is facing the survival crisis and the challenge of survival through reform. H ow APEC can uphold multilateralism and free trade in the context of anti-g lobalization is a question that every APEC economy needs to think deeply a bout.\nModerator:\n\nDato' Manickam Supperamaniam\, Senior Researcher\, In stitute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia\n\n \; \nSpeakers:\n\nNarongchai Akrasanee\, Chair\, TNCPEC\nTan Khee Giap\, Chai r\, SINCPEC\nChau Chung-Linh\, Program Director\, APEC Secretariat\nZhang Jianping\, Director Genral\, Center for Regional Ecnomic Cooperation\, Chi nese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation\, MOFCOM\n\nQ &\;A\n\n\n\n1215 - 1400\nLunch\n\n\n1400 - 1530\nSession II: New Progre ss in Asia-Pacific Regional IntegrationThe 2017 APEC meeting in Vietnam en courages economies to make further progress and to develop work programs t o enhance APEC economies’ ability to participate in high quality\, compreh ensive free trade agreement negotiations in the future to achieve the goal s of the free trade area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP).

The 2014 Beijing APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting endorsed t he “APEC Connectivity Blueprint for 2015-2025”. Asia-Pacific Connectivity is not only the prerequisite for realizing the regional economic integrati on\, but also indispensable to revitalizing the economy and promoting the long-term inclusive growth and sustainable development. The APEC agenda in the post 2020 era must be adapted to the new situation of rapid developme nt of digital and information technology. Innovative development based on the digital economy represents the future direction of economic and social development to which the APEC economies should pay enough attention. At t he same time\, they should also focus on the balanced development of the e conomy and society and actively advocate the people centered APEC.\nModera tor:\n\nEduardo Pedrosa\, Secretary General\, PECC\n\n \;\nSpeakers:\n \nJeff Reeves\, Vice-President\, Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada\nAndrew Elek\, Senior Research Fellow\, Australian National University\nSong Guoy ou\, Deputy Director\,Center for American Studies\, Fudan University\nNiu Weilu\, Engineer\, China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Respon se Team\n\nQ&\;A\n\n\n\n1030 - 1045\nCoffee Break\n\n\n1045 - 1230\nSes sion IV: APEC at the Crossroad: Past\, Present and Future\nLooking back at the past\, looking forward to the future and meeting challenges at a new historical juncture\, APEC should and can shoulder the mission of leading in regional and global economic cooperation and better promote the economi c and social development of the Asia-Pacific region.
