New Zealand: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand has urged political and business leaders to collaborate in order to achieve a strong, equitable, and long-term recovery from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Jacinda Ardern acknowledged the scale of the pandemic's impacts, the inequitable effect it has had on people, and the diverse challenges economies have faced in her keynote address to a global business audience at the APEC CEO Summit, the largest business conference in the Asia-Pacific region that runs concurrently with APEC's Leaders' Week meetings.

Ardern outlined three areas where government and business leaders could collaborate to achieve economic recovery and weather future economic shocks. "There is no doubt that staying on top of the virus gives us options when it comes to responding to the economic challenges we face," Jacinda Ardern said. "We must continue to strengthen the government-business partnership as we prepare for the post-pandemic era. Through innovative ideas and renewed resolve, we must set the stage for an equitable, inclusive, and long-term recovery that invests in our people and our planet "Jacinda Ardern is the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

"Workplaces and businesses should be welcoming to all members of our communities, especially women and indigenous peoples. They have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic's effects, but they are a productive and engaged workforce with much to offer. The Mori economy is now worth NZDUSD70 billion in New Zealand alone "Jacinda Ardern is the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
