第十三届APEC会议的讲话 英文稿
SPEECHBy Ambassador Tran Trong ToanExecutive Director, APEC Secretariat to the13th APEC Small and Medium Enterprise Ministerial MeetingHa Noi, Viet Nam29 September 2006Your Excellency Mr. Vo Hong Phuc, Chair of the 13th APEC SME Ministerial Meeting,Honourable Ministers,Distinguished guests,Ladies and gentlemen,It gives me a great honour to present, on behalf of the APEC Secretariat, to you an update of SME related activities taking place in APEC since the last SME Ministerial Meeting in September 2005. SMEs have long been playing an essential role in the APEC region. Accounting for over 95% of all enterprises and providing more then 60% of private sector employment. SMEs have made a very important contribution to GDP growth, socio-economic development and prosperity. They have also proved their resilience and dynamism in responding to fast changing conditions, even at the times of economic upheaval and crisis. SMEs have become even more important in recent years in advancing our efforts to overcome the socio-economic disparity and achieve the UN Millenium Development Goals. That is why the promotion of SME development has always been given a priority in APEC activities. As the APEC Secretariat has already circulated Report No. 2006\\\/SMEMM\\\/002 on APEC Fora SME-related Activities during the period from September 2005 to September 2006, allow me just to highlight some main features of these activities. 1. Recognising the great importance of SMEs and Micro Enterprises (MEs) for socio-economic development in the region, at their meetings in Korea last November, Leaders and Ministers agreed to develop a private sector agenda. This has the aim of creating an enabling environment for small businesses to improve their competitiveness in the marketplace, while at the same time, promoting innovation as the main driving force in creating dynamic SMEs and MEs. 2. This agenda has since been implemented by APEC Senior Officials with additional input from other APEC fora. This included an Ease of Doing Business Symposium on Private Sector Development organized by Canada and New Zealand on the margins of the second ABAC meeting of the year in Montreal. This Symposium concluded that there exists a strong positive link between the quality of an economy's domestic regulations and its sustained economic performance. Delegates agreed that effective and market-friendly regulation is particularly important for SMEs, and that according to the World Bank's report on Doing Business, APEC is faring well in comparison with other regions of the world. The Symposium warned, however, that APEC must pay continual attention to its regulatory performance to remain competitive.3. The outcomes of this Symposium served as the basis of the APEC Work-plan on Private Sector Development that has since been endorsed by the SOM and will now be managed by the SME Working Group. The centerpiece of this work-plan is a series of capacity building workshops to be held by the APEC host economy each year from 2007 to 2010. The first workshop on Starting a Business will be hosted by Australia on the margins of the SME Working Group and Ministerial Meetings in Hobart in March 2007. The themes for the following two workshops are Obtaining Business Licenses during Peru 2008 and Access to Capital for Singapore 2009. The fourth theme will be selected in collaboration with Japan and in consideration of progress made in the years between then and now. 4. At their meeting in November last year, APEC Ministers also called for additional APEC activities to be developed that promote international trade for SMEs and MEs. Ministers agreed that many of these businesses had high export potential but lacked formal channels to export their products and services. Smaller businesses also face difficulties when confronted with impediments to trade, particularly behind the border barriers, as they usually do not have the financial capacity to overcome these problems. Ministers have called for these problems to be dealt with and for continuing efforts in areas such as improving access to formal sector finances, particularly for MEs.5. The call by Leaders last year for APEC to create a stronger environment for promoting the activities of SMEs and MEs, has also seen APEC expanding its activities in areas such as improving small business understanding of intellectual property rights issues. IPR issue plays an important role for all businesses regardless of size, and are a key element in innovation. Increasingly, small business is realizing the hidden value of this often untapped wealth. However the problem for many SMEs and MEs is that they feel that the integration of IP concerns into their businesses may be complicated and expensive ventures. APEC is working with Member Economies to develop possibilities for future cooperation on IPR issues for smaller businesses. An APEC Workshop on Intellectual Property for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Micro-Enterprises was held in February 2006 in Ha Noi. Organized by the APEC IPR Experts Group, this marked an important milestone in the discussion of IP issues relating to SMEs. 6. In the area of dealing with corruption, SMEs are particularly vulnerable. While larger businesses have the resources to defend their businesses from threats of corruption, SMEs and MEs often do not have the time, knowledge of government systems, connections and other resources to deal with corrupt official or companies. The APEC Anti-Corruption Task Force has undertaken a number of initiatives that strengthen the capacity of small businesses and clarify the options open to them if confronted with corruption. It must be stated though that while APEC is building capacity to increase technical knowledge and promote the greater use of information technology, these will not in themselves reduce corruption. As such APEC is combining this knowledge with improvements to public sector performance, by enhancing competent and clean political and managerial leadership and strong civil society, and increasing news media involvement in exposing corruption.7. Since the last meeting of SME Ministers in Korea, APEC has held a number of sectoral ministerial meetings. These include two meetings of APEC Finance Ministers, a meeting of APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade, a meeting of APEC Ministers on Avian and Influenza Pandemic, and a Ministerial Meeting on Oceans.The Finance Ministers' process has already produced significant results for SMEs, particularly with the MOU on Cooperation Among APEC Financial Institutions Dealing with SMEs which was signed in 2003. This was further enhanced through an APEC seminar on APEC Financial Institutions Dealing with SMEs: Sustaining SME Development through Banking Knowledge Sharing that was held earlier in the year.The Ministerial Meeting on Avian and Influenza Pandemics in May adopted the APEC Action Plan on Fighting Avian and Influenza Pandemic, in which Ministers also considered the importance of preparedness planning for smaller businesses. In the event that a pandemic did strike our region, as was the case with SARS in 2003, it is often the smaller operators that suffer the most. As part of preparations, Ministers called for improved collaboration between small and medium sized businesses with large corporations to assist in sector-wide preparedness and response planning.Considering that most businesses in marine industries are run by smaller operators, APEC Oceans Ministers meeting in Bali last September set in place a course of action that seeks to enhance market opportunities while protecting marine resources for the future. Ministers adopted the Bali Plan of Action that seeks to provide a permanent and sustainable foundation for the economic and social well-being of people employed in marine-related industries. The plan also calls for increased attention to ensure adequate scientific and economic information, data, and earth observations on which future planning decisions can be based. Greater capacity building and technical assistance are also being planned to ensure that all economies in the region share the benefits of oceans resources.Finally, the Meeting of APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade in Ho Chi Minh City earlier this year echoed the call by the APEC Ministerial Meeting last year in Busan for APEC to make greater efforts to promote international trade for SMEs and MEs. It is obvious that our smallest businesses have rather high export potential but lack channels and capacity to conduct export. Honourable Ministers,Over the past years, APEC has carried out important activities to promote the development of SMEs and MEs. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges to be overcome in order to utilize the full potential of SMEs and MEs in the APEC region. Among the challenges, the following factors have attracted great attention of the stakeholders: To create a truly enabling environment for the development of SMEs and MEs through the improvement of legal, policy, macro-economic infrastructure and tackling all other behind-the-border problems;To provide more favourable conditions for SME and ME activities through diverse programs of human resources development, financing, and technical assistance; To encourage and facilitate the business activities of SMEs and MEs through creating more access to international markets, enhancing export opportunities, and effectively reducing transaction costs;To strengthen the international competitiveness of SMEs and MEs through further promotion of capacity building and innovation activities. In this context, the theme of the SME Ministerial Meeting this year as Strengthening SME competitiveness for Trade and Investment and the three sub-themes Business enabling environment for SME; SME capacity building for trade and investment and Facilitating linkages for SME are highly appropriate and timely. The issues being discussed and expected outcomes will certainly help in realizing one of the priorities of the APEC Viet Nam Year to Enhance the Competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises in our efforts towards a Dynamic Community for Sustainable Development and Prosperity.We have high expectations that the Ministerial Meeting will be a great step forward in creating an environment that is conducive to further developing and enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs and MEs so that they can more effectively play their role as an important contributor to the socio-economic development and prosperity of our region.I thank you and wish the Meeting great success.

我记得在去年apec会议上见过你英文
是继2001年上海举办后时隔13年重回中国，于11月下旬在北京召开，包含领导人非正式会议、部长级会议、高官会等系列会议。
此次峰会的主题是：（APEC）北京峰会经贸领域主要议题敲定，本次APEC领导人会议的主题是“共建面向未来的亚太伙伴关系”。
在这个主题下有三个重要的议题：推动区域经济一体化、促进经济创新发展、改革与增长，加强全方位互联互通和基础设施建设。
2014北京apec峰会举办时间：2014年11月10日至11日2014北京apec峰会举办地址：雁栖湖 雁栖湖北京将主办2014年第22次领导人非正式会议，地点在北京。
已完成官方网站建设、会标设计等筹备工作。
雁栖湖位于北京郊区怀柔城北8公里处的燕山脚下，北临雄伟的，南偎一望无际的，是一处风光旖旎的水上乐园。
雁栖湖水面宽阔，湖水清澈，每年春秋两季常有成群的大雁来湖中栖息，故而得名。
自1986年以来，怀柔区政府不断加大对雁栖湖的资金投入，陆续建成了一些景区，现在已经成为北京市民假期的好去处，2000年被评为国家AAAA级风景区。
选址原因 作为最具影响力的经济合作官方论坛，APEC会议的选址很有讲究。
从2001年的上海到2011年的夏威夷，2012年的海参崴，2013年的巴厘岛，会址的选择都要力求体现东道主的自然风光和历史文化。
据前代司长介绍，近几年APEC会址的选择逐渐倾向风景好的地方，但在首都开的并不是太多，这次把雁栖湖作为主会场也是为了彰显绿色环保的理念。
除了一些硬性的选择原则，在北京举办这样的会议对环境的考量应该会比较多。
近几年，北京的环境问题遭到了一些质疑，而明年的APEC会议选择在北京怀柔也可以彰显出北京在治理环境污染、特别是大气污染方面的成果。
