APEC represents an ideal forum to explore this concept of expanded cross-border energy trade and renewable energy in a non-binding manner. We will further aspire to ensure quality electricity supply for all member economies.
我们决心挖掘亚太经合组织在发起未来能源合作倡议方面的巨大潜力，特别是在能源贸易和环境可持续性领域。亚太经合组织以非约束性方式探讨拓展跨境能源贸易和可再生能源等理念。我们将进一步努力，确保所有经济体享有高品质电力供应。

26. On regulatory coherence, we will implement initiatives that focus on regulatory cooperation through the sharing of best practices on regulatory issues. We note that industry dialogues are already well advanced in this process. The internet is a good and effective tool to help economies strengthen their implementation of good regulatory practices (e.g. ensuring internal coordination of regulatory work, assessing the impact of regulations, and conducting public consultations). Economies will further explore using internet-based tools to strengthen the implementation of good regulatory practices, including through the initiative on new actions APEC economies could take to strengthen the conduct of public consultations on proposed regulations in the Internet era.
在规制衔接领域，我们将通过分享最佳实践和规制案例，实施规制合作有关倡议。我们注意到产业对话机制已在这一进程中取得显著进展。互联网是各经济体实施良好规制实践的有效工具（如保障内部规制工作协调，评估法规制度影响，以及开展公共咨询等）。各经济体将进一步探索利用互联网手段，开展良好规制实践，包括互联网时代规制公共咨询的倡议。

33. Tourism is an important part of APEC economic growth strategies, and this is reflected in the many tourism facilitation and promotion initiatives that have been implemented within the APEC region.

On professional and skilled labor mobility, we welcome initiatives to benchmark qualifications in the transport and logistics industry, allowing businesses within the region to have more certainty over the skill sets of workers from other economies. There are various bilateral Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs), and going forward, APEC can undertake work to help expand the number of bilateral and multilateral MRAs in the region. Mutual recognition of skills and credentials can play an important role in facilitating skilled labor mobility. Timely and accurate information on skills gaps and labor market imbalances will also need to be gathered and analyzed to ensure responsive policymaking in this area.
在专业技术人才流动领域，我们欢迎设立交通和物流行业专业资质认定标准的倡议，更精确评估来自其他亚太经合组织经济体专业技术人才的技能水平。亚太经合组织未来可在目前已有各类双边资质互认协议基础上，增加域内双、多边互认协议数量。职业技能和资质互认对促进专业技术人才流动具有重要作用。为加强政策应对的针对性，有必要收集和分析技能差异和劳动力市场失衡方面及时而准确的信息。

Strategies for Implementation: Capacity Building and Private Sector Cooperation
实施战略：能力建设和私营部门合作
39. Economic and technical cooperation (ECOTECH) is one of the key pillars of APEC, focusing on narrowing the gap between developed and developing APEC economies. To help implement the connectivity agenda, we direct ECOTECH activities at upgrading skills and institutions by providing relevant capacity building activities for APEC economies and adhering to key ECOTECH objectives. In this regard, ECOTECH is an important tool for implementing the Blueprint.
经济技术合作旨在缩小亚太经合组织发达和发展中经济体的差距，是亚太经合组织核心支柱之一。为促进互联互通议程实施，我们将开展提高能力和加强机制建设的经济技术合作，为亚太经合组织经济体提供相关能力建设项目，并坚持经济技术合作的关键目标。因此，经济技术合作是落实蓝图的重要手段。
40. The development and implementation of connectivity initiatives will require a significant amount of information on economies’ needs, expectations, gaps, and on market direction and imbalances. Information on what infrastructure projects are needed, what gaps exist in institutional frameworks, and where skills imbalances lay in the labor market will be crucial to support economies in achieving connectivity targets.
提出和实施互联互通合作倡议，需要掌握关于各经济体需求、期待、差距以及市场导向、失衡等方面的大量信息。基础设施需要何类项目、机制框架存在何种不足、劳动力市场缺乏何种人才等信息，对帮助各经济体实现互联互通目标至关重要。
41. To gather this information, economies should work with the private sector. In this regard, the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) and APEC’s policy partnerships and industry dialogues can contribute significantly by providing private sector feedback or insight on market needs, trends and expectations.
各经济体应与私营部门合作搜集有关信息。亚太经合组织工商咨询理事会、政策伙伴关系机制和产业对话机制在这方面可作出重要贡献，提供私营部门关于市场需求、趋势和期待的信息和见解。
