"Biden reaffirmed our interest in serving as a strong, reliable partner to APEC economies as we pursue sustained and inclusive growth," and "discussed ways to unleash the economic power of the region and to deepen U.S. economic engagement throughout the Indo-Pacific," Biden said in a White House statement following his remarks to the APEC leaders' meeting.
