The Russian President said the meeting also addressed other pressing issues such as counter-terrorism, energy market forecasting, trade liberalisation and APEC’s development prospects.
However, he said some issues cannot be addressed and resolved individually, for example those related to micro-, small-, medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). They should be considered together with the chain production of the modern economy as well as with the digital economy, he noted.
Putin also highly appreciated the meeting’s outcomes, saying Vietnam, as the host, has done everything to make it go smoothly. The meeting is very important to enhancing regional cooperation, he added.
