🌏 The Asia-Pacific region is booming, and young voices from Russia’s Far East are feeling the vibes! A CGTN correspondent caught up with local university students to hear what they think about their region’s economic firepower and APEC’s next moves.
Digital Dreams 🚀
"The Asia-Pacific’s biggest asset is our digital innovation," says Dina, a computer science major in Vladivostok. She points to booming e-commerce, fintech startups, and a generation glued to their screens – but also ready to code the next big thing.
Green Growth Goals 🌱
"We need more green tech partnerships across members like the Chinese mainland, Japan, and the island of Taiwan," explains Alex, who studies environmental science. He highlights a shared responsibility for the planet.
Cultural Exchange & Travel ✈️
"Stronger travel policies and student exchanges can build lifelong friendships," says Marina, a language learner. Many students dream of exploring Bali’s beaches or Seoul’s neon streets under the APEC banner.
As APEC members continue to shape global trade, these young voices remind us that cooperation isn’t just about numbers – it’s about ideas, innovation, and intercultural friendships. The next big leap? A Pacific region powered by the creativity and passion of its youth.
