On the afternoon of 18 November 2015, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group Jack Yun Ma gave an interview at the Press Center of the Chinese Delegation. He shared his views on the keynote speech made by President Xi Jinping at the APEC CEO Summit, the prospects of e-commerce businesses in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative, the FTAAP process and the shift of growth model of China's economy.

Jack Ma said that President Xi's speech was impressive. It is important to achieve coordinated development of investment, consumption and export instead of favoring one to the neglect of another. The Belt and Road Initiative is a testimony to China's sense of responsibility to the global economy and is a good thing for all. It is not designed to transfer China's excess production capacity. Trade is about freedom and human rights. It is not a tool of conflicts among countries. SMEs and entrepreneurs should get involved and share the benefits of globalization.

Journalists with People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency and CCTV attended the interview.
