He also intends to promote the "Beijing Consensus", a vision for Asia-Pacific future development, and extending the Asia-Pacific dream. Beijing has placed its surroundings as top priority in the diplomatic landscape, and encouraging regional peace, stability and development.

In the past three years , Xi has visited more than 10 APEC member countries with his footsteps going throughout the Asia-Pacific.

Last year, China hosted the 2014 Beijing APEC forum and boosted the 22nd APEC informal meeting, which opened a new chapter in Asia-Pacific regional integration.

A year later in Manila, Xi will convey a good voice of Chinese development through the APEC platform, and explain Chinese wisdom to encourage cooperation in Asia-Pacific and the world, along with the people's welfare.
