China stands ready to work with all parties to ensure the complete success of the APEC China Year, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday in response to a question on whether Chinese and Japanese leaders will hold a meeting on the sidelines of next week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting.

As the host of APEC 2026, China is actively fulfilling its host responsibilities, Guo said at a regular news conference.
