APEC leaders will maintain hefty stimulus packages until they secure a "durable" recovery from the global economic slowdown, according to a draft communique obtained by AFP Friday.
"We will maintain our economic stimulus policies until a durable economic recovery is secured," the draft said, stressing that "economic recovery is not yet on a solid footing".
Leaders of the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, including the United States and China, will meet in Singapore on November 14-15 to discuss global economic recovery, environmental issues and free trade.
