新华社香港7月25日电 香港特区政府商务及经济发展局局长邱腾华25日表示，所有亚太经合组织成员经济体要行动一致，共同抗疫、促进经济复苏，并应依据世界贸易组织所订的权利和义务，避免建立不必要的贸易壁垒。 邱腾华是在参加亚太经合组织（APEC）25日召开的贸易部长抗击新冠肺炎疫情视频会议时作出上述表示的。 在此次会议中，与会部长就亚太经合组织应对新冠肺炎疫情冲击，以及促进区内经济复苏可采取的实质方案交流意见。 邱腾华表示，这次疫情触发的公共卫生和经济危机，对社会和经济带来前所未有的深远影响。 “我们正处于一场双重战役，我们必先战胜疫情，方可挽回经济。 我们要目标明确，病毒是我们的共同敌人，合作才可取得胜利，反之只会失败。” 邱腾华说，新冠肺炎疫情引发的连串贸易限制无助控制疫情。 贸易是解决目前问题的关键良方，不应视为问题所在。 他谴责所有带歧视性和分化的政策措施，并促请所有经济体在此关键时刻保持边界开放，维持供应链的畅顺运作，避免建立贸易壁垒或采取不理性的贸易政策。
Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, July 25 – Qiu Tenghua, Secretary for the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said on the 25th that all APEC member economic entities should act in concert to fight against the COVID-19 epidemic and promote economic recovery, and should avoid setting up unnecessary trade barriers in accordance with the rights and obligations stipulated by the World Trade Organization. Qiu Tenghua made the above remark when attending the video conference of trade ministers fighting the COVID-19 epidemic held by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on the 25th. During this meeting, the participating ministers exchanged views on the practical solutions that the APEC can adopt to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and promote the economic recovery in the APEC. Qiu Tenghua said that the public health and economic crisis triggered by the epidemic would bring unprecedented far-reaching impact on society and economy. "We are in a double battle, and we must overcome the epidemic before we can save the economy. We should have a clear goal, and the COVID-19 is our common enemy, so that cooperation can win, otherwise it will only fail. ” Qiu Tenghua said that a series of trade restrictions triggered by the COVID-19 epidemic did not help to control the epidemic. Trade is the key solution to the current problems and should not be regarded as the problem. He condemned all discriminatory and divisive policies and measures, and urged all economic entities to keep their borders open at this critical moment, maintain the smooth operation of supply chains, and avoid building trade barriers or adopting irrational trade policies.
