 I'd like to begin by thanking our hosts, President Kosinski and the people of Peru, for such a warm welcome. This summit was a chance for APEC members to tackle the challenges facing the global opportunity and to seize the global community and to seize the opportunities that lie ahead. Essential theme of our discussions this weekend was the need to encourage free trade in the Asia Pacific region. We know that increased economic cooperation has the potential to expand new opportunities for business owners, help create well-paying middle-class jobs, and to increase prosperity. As leaders, we must work together to break down trade barriers and introduce business-friendly regulations that will fuel growth. This is especially important to the success of small and medium-sized enterprises which could benefit from increased access to international markets in a number of key sectors like technology and infrastructure. But we know that creating an economic environment where businesses can thrive just isn't enough. Economic growth can and must deliver positive results for everyone. Today, I'm pleased to announce that the Government of Canada has made progress on three key areas to do just that. First, we agree on the need to work together to ensure that free trade agreements are fair for all parties. Yesterday, the Minister of Freelance announced the intention of Canada to promote trade and foreign investment, while fighting poverty, thanks to the mechanisms of development of specialists for trade and development. Canadian experts and from all over the world will work with developing countries to ensure that trade agreements are fair and equitable. These experts will be able to provide government assistance throughout the process of negotiations on ratification. Second, we discuss the importance of helping workers seize business opportunities around the world. Canada and Peru were pleased to announce earlier this weekend that we have concluded a convention on social security between Canada and the Republic of Peru. This agreement will make it easier to do business abroad by allowing workers to spend part of their careers in both countries and still benefit from their pensions. Third, we're redoubling efforts to ensure that all citizens can be equal participants in building economies that benefit everyone, and that includes women, youth, and marginalized groups. In the name of the Government of Canada, the Minister has announced two new initiatives to this effect. In partnership with UNICEF, Canada will invest almost $20 million on a seven-year period to make education more accessible to the vulnerable teenagers in Peru. This initiative will enable young people to acquire the skills they need to get jobs tomorrow. In addition, we will make investments to help modernize the public function of Peru to guarantee to all citizens, including members of Indigenous communities, a better access to government services. And finally, this summit was a chance for me to engage directly with many of our partners, including Australia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Japan, the US, and Vietnam. We talked about the need for greater cooperation on a wide range of issues, especially on the economic front. We know that trade can have a positive impact on middle-class families and those working hard to join it, but at the same time, we realize that it is our job to make sure that the benefits of growth are felt by all. And it is our job to ensure that all citizens have a real and fair chance at success. It is our duty to ensure that all citizens have a real and equitable chance of success and that they will benefit from trade and economic growth. I look forward to working closely with my fellow leaders in the years ahead to build a better, more prosperous future for all.
