BOAO, Hainan, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Asia should be a major engine for sustainable global recovery, according to a report released by the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Sunday.
Asian countries that have emerged from the pandemic need to offer more assistance to their neighbors, said the BFA's Sustainable Development: Asia and the World Annual Report 2021.
The countries need to make concerted efforts in virus prevention and control, and accelerate the vaccination process, thus creating conditions for reopening borders and resuming normal travel, it said.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) should be carried out as high-standard rules and practices for free trade and investment, it said.
