Chinese President Xi Jinping is traveling from November 13 to 21 to attend the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and pay a state visit to Peru, and attend the 19th G20 Summit and pay a state visit to Brazil, at the invitation of Peruvian President Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. It is entirely foreseeable that under the strategic guidance of heads-of-state diplomacy, relations between China and Latin America and the Caribbean will usher in another highly anticipated moment, which will bring stability to the world.

In an interview with the Global Times, Jayant Menon, a senior fellow at the Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, shared his insights on how APEC facilitates economic and trade cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and the role China can play in fostering an open, dynamic, resilient and peaceful Asia-Pacific.

China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Monday that Chinese investigating agencies decided to impose temporary anti-dumping measures against brandy imported from the EU.
