President Vladimir Putin will lead the Russian delegation at the APEC summit in China’s Shenzhen on November 18 and 19, Russian Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador at Large Marat Berdyev told TASS. The Chinese have put forward a timely slogan calling for the creation of a prosperous community in the Asia Pacific region. President Vladimir Putin will lead the Russian delegation. China has already proposed powerful initiatives designed to boost interconnectedness, technological modernization, and the establishment of a free trade zone in the Asia Pacific region. This is in line with Russia’s policy, which President Putin outlined back in 2015 with an emphasis on ‘integration of integrations’ based on the Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) initiative," Berdyev stressed.
