“深圳的发展成就令人刮目相看”
APEC“中国年”恰逢中国“十五五”开局之年,对深圳而言,是一次难得的历史机遇。
“深圳在很长的历史时期只是一个名不见经传的小渔村,是一座真正因改革开放而生、因改革开放而兴的城市。”高志凯回忆,1984年,他第一次来深圳,从香港经罗湖口岸进入。那时候,深圳就像一片建筑工地,而香港已经高度繁荣。但短短几十年下来,深圳的发展成就令人刮目相看,在人口规模、经济规模均实现对香港的超越,尤其在科技领域,深圳已经成为全国甚至全世界的创新高地。
“从这个角度说,深圳举办APEC会议,将让每一个建设过、亲历过‘深圳奇迹’的人,产生巨大的荣誉感。”高志凯认为,深圳的发展成就与APEC所秉持的“促进经济增长、增进人民福祉”初衷完全一致,同时也向世界昭示一个真理——要热爱和平,专心致志搞发展,捍卫自由贸易,推动市场经济。“只有这样,一个国家、一座城市才能够繁荣昌盛,真正地摆脱贫困,走上一条不断改善人民生活、提升国家经济的光辉大道。”

“深圳要高举APEC合作大旗”
当今世界变乱交织,各种挑战层出不穷。深圳如何以举办APEC会议为契机,向世界讲好中国式现代化故事?
高志凯指出,APEC是基于地理范围、面向太平洋沿岸所有经济体的开放合作平台,具有鲜明的包容性、务实性、客观性、合作性与发展性。凡太平洋沿岸经济体,均具备参与资格,不分地域、不设排斥、不以意识形态划线,始终以经济合作与共同发展为导向。
“APEC坚持开放、务实、合作、发展,是亚太合作的人间正道。”高志凯说,深圳要高举APEC合作大旗,鲜明传递开放包容、互利共赢的亚太主张,为未来的国际协作注入独特的“深圳智慧”。

“深圳要留下更多‘APEC遗产’”
高志凯认为,深圳应树立长远视野,统筹过去、现在、未来三个时间维度,着眼2035年、2050年乃至更长时期,推动深圳与APEC的合作关联实现长期化、固定化、永久化、动态化、官方化与民间化,留下更多“深圳APEC遗产”。
高志凯进一步以“命名一条路”“命名一栋楼”“成立一个研究院”“建立一个服务中心”“开设一座陈列馆”等阐述对“深圳APEC遗产”的畅想。即命名一条“APEC大道”;命名一栋“APEC大楼”;成立一个以APEC为研究对象的研究院;建立一个以APEC各类人员为服务对象的中心;开设一个展示历次APEC会议特色的陈列馆等等。“同时,深圳要主动链接往后各届APEC会议的不同主题,将自身所长与APEC所需相结合,让‘APEC+深圳’等于如虎添翼的现实成为普通共识。”
“举办APEC会议,不仅将展示深圳城市形象,更将成为深圳城市发展的加速器。面向全国、面向亚太、面向星辰大海,深圳未来可期,明天一定更美好。”高志凯说。

Shenzhen: The best is yet to come
This November, Shenzhen will host the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, marking the third time a Chinese city has held this prestigious international event, following Shanghai in 2001 and Beijing in 2014. Over the past 25 years, APEC has navigated the complexities of regional cooperation, serving as a testament to China’s steadfast commitment to the prosperity of the Asia-Pacific.
During a recent lecture at Shenzhen News Group, Gao Zhikai — chair professor at Soochow University, visiting professor at Shenzhen University, and vice president of the Center for China and Globalization — shared his insights on the significance of the upcoming summit.
The timing of the APEC “China Year” is significant as it aligns with the start of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). Gao described this as a “rare historical opportunity” for Shenzhen to showcase its transformation.
“For much of its history, Shenzhen was an obscure fishing village. It has thrived through reform and opening up,” Gao remarked. Recalling his first visit in 1984 via the Luohu Checkpoint, he noted, “Back then, Shenzhen was essentially one giant construction site, while Hong Kong was a bustling metropolis.” In just four decades, Shenzhen has surpassed Hong Kong in both population and economic scale, while emerging as a premier global innovation hub.
Gao described hosting APEC as a profound source of pride for the architects of the “Shenzhen Miracle.” The city’s trajectory aligns with APEC’s goals of economic vitality and public well-being, and underscores a universal truth — the centrality of peaceful development. “Only this path allows a nation or city to prosper, eliminate poverty, and build a robust, modern economy.”
He emphasized that Shenzhen’s role in the summit is to tell the story of Chinese modernization.
Gao characterized APEC as an inclusive platform, uniting Pacific Rim economies based on their shared geography. Rooted in pragmatism and a focus on development, the organization facilitates participation without ideological barriers or exclusionary politics.
“APEC adheres to openness, pragmatism, cooperation, and development — it represents the right path for Asia-Pacific cooperation.” Gao said. He urged Shenzhen to champion the ideals of openness, inclusiveness, and mutual benefit, offering the city’s success as a model for international cooperation.
Gao suggested that Shenzhen institutionalize its long-term relationship with APEC in order to build a lasting “Shenzhen APEC Legacy.” To that end, he proposed several concrete initiatives: naming an “APEC Avenue” or “APEC Tower,” establishing a dedicated APEC research institute and a service center for APEC stakeholders, and opening a museum to document the history and milestones of APEC summits.
“Shenzhen should match its unique strengths with the evolving needs of APEC,” Gao concluded. “By forging a dynamic link between the city and the organization, Shenzhen will not only burnish its international image but also accelerate its own urban transformation. For Shenzhen, the best is yet to come.”

APEC会标
APEC会标于1991年开始启用,呈绿、蓝、白三色的地球状。会标既代表亚太经合组织这一重要的地区经济合作组织,也代表着亚太地区的希望和期待。
会标的含义:地球用太平洋这一半代表亚太经合组织经济体,绿色和蓝色代表亚太人民期待着繁荣、健康和福利的生活,白色代表着和平与稳定;边缘阴影部分代表亚太地区发展和增长富有活力的前景;中间是白色的APEC四个英文字母。
APEC Logo
Officially introduced in 1991, the APEC logo depicts a green, blue, and white globe. It symbolizes both the regional economic cooperation body and the broader hopes of the Asia-Pacific people.
The Pacific side of the globe represents APEC’s member economies. Green and blue reflect aspirations for prosperity, health, and well-being; white signifies peace and stability. The shaded edge conveys the region’s dynamic growth potential, while the letters “APEC” stand in white at the center.

第六站:
马来西亚吉隆坡
1998年,亚太经合组织第六次领导人非正式会议在马来西亚吉隆坡举行。会议决定通过建立社会保险网、完善金融体制、加强贸易投资流动、科技和人力资源开发、加强与工商界联系等措施,夯实亚太面向21世纪可持续发展的基础。
吉隆坡是马来西亚的首都和最大城市,马来语意指“泥泞河口”,即巴生河和鹅麦河的交汇处,有着“世界锡都、胶都”美誉。吉隆坡是马来西亚政治、经济、金融、工业、商业和文化中心,是一座五彩缤纷的多元都会。市内穆斯林建筑、中国式住宅以及英国殖民时期建筑星罗棋布,国营石油公司双峰塔和吉隆坡塔是现代吉隆坡的标志。
Sixth Stop:
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
In 1998, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, hosted the 6th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting. During the summit, leaders pledged to strengthen the foundations of sustainable development across the Asia-Pacific. Key commitments included the establishment of social safety nets, the modernization of financial systems, and the promotion of robust trade and investment flows. Emphasis was also placed on advancing technology and fostering greater engagement with the business community.
As Malaysia’s capital and largest city, Kuala Lumpur — whose Malay name translates to “muddy confluence”— is historically celebrated as the “world’s tin and rubber capital.”The city’s skyline is a vibrant mosaic of Islamic architecture, traditional Chinese residences, and British colonial heritage, anchored by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Tower.
