Chinese president delivers key-note speech on infrastructure at APEC CEO summit

VLADIVOSTOK, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao delivered a key-note speech on infrastructure for sustainable growth at the CEO summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on Saturday.

Reviewing the current world economy, Hu said it is recovering slowly, and there are still some destabilizing factors and uncertainties.

The underlying impact of the international financial crisis is far from over, and some countries are confronted with complex and difficult sovereign debt problems. Protectionism is on the rise and the world economy is facing increasing downward risks, the Chinese president said.
