SAN FRANCISCO:  The participants of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit managed to reach a consensus in adopting the final declaration, with Moscow’s position taken into account, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk who heads the country’s delegation at the summit that is about to end in San Francisco (California), said.

"The declaration has been adopted. It was adopted in consensus," he told reporters. "Everything has been taken into account," the official added when asked whether Russia’s position was considered as the document was passed.

"No toxic political implications. This is a working document that specifies the main economic issues that I have already mentioned, including the climate problem, the issues of digital transformation, the issues of women’s rights, and, in fact, enables us to proceed within the framework of Peru’s chairmanship that has started," Overchuk said.
