The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) takes advantage of the region's expanding interdependence to achieve balanced, inclusive, and sustainable growth while bolstering security for the region's populace. Hosting APEC 2023, the United States will have an opportunity to demonstrate its economic leadership and multilateralism in the Indo-Pacific region as well as the direct effects of global economic participation on American prosperity. Under the theme "Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All," the agenda focuses on advancing a more interconnected, innovative, and inclusive APEC region. How can we weave threads of resilience and interconnectedness that extend beyond borders, encompass diverse communities, and foster economic growth? How best to harness the power of creativity and cutting-edge technologies to meet current challenges? Envisioning an equitable and inclusive future, can we break down barriers that hinder progress to ensure that every voice is heard and every opportunity is within reach?
