Economic integration, small and medium enterprises, and sustainable growth are expected to be high on the agenda of this year's APEC meeting under the theme of "Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World."
Building the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area, or FTAAP, is also likely to be discussed by leaders in this region.
APEC members reached consensus on the Beijing Roadmap to push forward the FTAAP process during last November's summit here in Beijing.
For more on the preview of APEC leaders' meeting, CRI's Wang Mengzhen earlier spoke with He Weiwen, senior researcher at Chongyang Institute, Renmin University.
