‘Most’ APEC members condemn war in Ukraine: leaders’ statement

BANGKOK, 04 December 2022, (TON): Asia-Pacific leaders added their voices on Saturday to international pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, issuing a summit statement saying most of them condemned the war.

The 21 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum issued a joint declaration after a day and half of talks in Bangkok criticizing the conflict and the global economic turmoil it has unleashed.

The summit communique was agreed by all APEC members, including Russia and China which has refrained from public criticism of Moscow for the invasion but includes a number of diplomatic fudges.
