APEC members aim for joint statement NHK

Leaders and delegates from 21 countries and regions aim to release a joint statement after wrapping up two days of talks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum on Saturday in Bangkok.

The attendees include Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, Chinese President Xi Jinping, US Vice President Kamala Harris, and Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov.

Talks kicked off on Friday, when many participants expressed concern about surging energy and food prices amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Summit chair Thailand is pushing for consensus, but divisions remain. Sources say the joint statement will mention that some members condemn Russia's invasion, while also acknowledging the views of others.
