Korea has urged greater collaboration among Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) members to establish robust energy supply chains, highlighting the region's susceptibility to disruptions in the Middle East. This request was made by Second Vice Foreign Minister Kim Jina during the 37th APEC Ministerial Meeting, which took place via videoconference earlier in the week.
The meeting, co-chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, gathered foreign and trade ministers from the 21 APEC economies to explore strategies for fostering cooperation within the Asia-Pacific community and advancing regional economic integration.
Kim emphasized the importance of enhanced cooperation among APEC members to bolster regional energy resilience and diversify energy sources. Turning to artificial intelligence (AI), Kim advocated for stronger collaboration grounded in the APEC AI Initiative, which was launched last year at the APEC summit in Gyeongju under Korea's leadership.
The Korean Foreign Minister indicated that Korea would aid in regional AI development and adoption by establishing innovation platforms aimed at facilitating the adoption of AI technologies.
