Russia, China and Mongolia signed the Memorandum on elaborating the programme to establish the economic corridor.

On July 1, 2015 the People's Republic of China joined the OECD Development Centre which marks an important step in support of China's transformation and transition to a new growth model.
China is joining a group of 48 OECD and non-OECD countries that are members of the OECD Development Centre. The Centre helps decision makers find policy solutions to stimulate growth and improve living conditions in developing and emerging economies.
The OECD Development Centre has carried out significant research and dialogue on inclusive growth, economic restructuring, poverty reduction, the United Nations post-2015 agenda, the G20, global value chains, and sustainable development and has achieved remarkable results,” stated the President of the Chinese Development Research Centre of the State Council (DRC) Li Wei.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, Secretary-General, OECD on the visit of H.E. Li Keqiang, Premier of China
On July 1, 2015 China and the OECD signed a Medium-Term Vision Statement and a joint Programme of Work for 2015-2016. The Programme of Work foresees that China and the OECD will strengthen cooperation in 20 policy areas, ranging from macroeconomic management and structural reform to regulatory and public governance to green growth. This is particularly timely as China will soon unveil priorities for its 2016 G20 Presidency.
“China and the OECD need each other now more than ever…As Chinese companies ramp-up overseas investment, and as OECD-based companies continue to sow investments in China, a new and enhanced program for China-OECD cooperation should benefit both parties” - said Joerg Wuttke, Chair of the BIAC China Task Force.
The BIAC China Task Force regularly highlights the importance of strengthening rule of law and creating a level playing field for all companies in China, whether foreign or domestic, private or state-owned.
The OECD, a world-leader in policy tools, analysis, and advice on economic governance, is well placed to advise China on its reform agenda. OECD instruments, such as the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the Anti-Bribery Convention, will be especially useful for Chinese companies investing overseas that face both the complexities and expectations of global markets.

Disaster management officials from APEC member economies have voiced support for the introduction of financial incentives to spur emergency preparedness among businesses in the Asia-Pacific as the risk of shocks to trade and growth rises in the world’s most natural disaster hit region.
Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries are fast growing and play an important role in the Asia – Pacific region. The recent EU Council conclusions prove this. The conclusions emphasize the EU interest in strengthening its relationship with ASEAN member countries and contain the EU commitment to support ASEAN in achieving its Connectivity goals and further boost the relationships with the institution.
Measures to lift trade barriers faced by small firms, the preeminent drivers of employment and growth among the region’s economies, were taken forward by officials and industry representatives meeting in Atlanta. The focus is on creating openings for small businesses to integrate in global value chains, or the different stages of international production and trade of goods, by partnering with larger companies in cross-border supply chains.
Small and medium enterprises account for more than 97 per cent of all businesses, about 60 per cent of GDP and half of the labor force in APEC member economies but a relatively low proportion of their exports—less than 25 per cent in the case of the United States as well as Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Chinese Taipei, according to the APEC Policy Support Unit.
Officials further mapped out complex non-tariff policy barriers to facilitate small business participation in Asia-Pacific trade. Steps were additionally taken to widen trade participation in particular sectors. This includes training for hundreds of small and medium enterprises from APEC economies on meeting product safety regulations for temperature sensitive exports – ranging from agriculture, to pharmaceuticals, to flowers – new logistics technology that tracks and ensures product integrity, and supply chain financing.
