Indonesia urged APEC economies on Wednesday to ensure that regional economic integration and technological advances benefit developing nations, not just wealthy members.
Speaking at the APEC summit, Indonesian officials stressed that growth from trade and innovation must reach all countries fairly. They warned that without inclusive policies, poorer economies risk being left behind as richer nations capture most of the gains from new technology and open markets.
The call puts pressure on APEC members to address the growing gap between advanced and developing economies. Indonesia's message was clear: economic cooperation must deliver real benefits to everyone, not only the most powerful players.
