This year’s two-day Apec summit has been heavily overshadowed by the Trump-Xi meeting that was arranged on the sidelines. “The more turbulent the times, the more we must work together,” Mr Xi said during Apec’s opening session. Mr Xi also expressed hopes to work with other countries to expand co-operation in green industries and clean energy. She said she also hopes to deepen her personal relationship with Mr Xi. Leaders and other representatives from 21 Asia-Pacific Rim economies are attending the Apec meeting to discuss how to promote economic co-operation and tackle shared challenges.
