Leaders: Asia-Pacific free trade vital to recovery (AP)

KAPOLEI, Hawaii ? Asia-Pacific leaders say further freeing up trade is crucial to a lasting global economic recovery as they wrap up an annual summit that produced tangible progress toward a regional trade bloc.

A declaration Sunday from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hawaii says the region is now the vanguard for global growth due to previous progress in forging closer economic ties and free trade.

A U.S.-backed plan to forge a Pacific free trade bloc got a big boost Sunday when leaders of Canada and Mexico joined Japan in expressing support for a deal that has received a cool reception from rising power China.

The APEC leaders say that their meeting at a time of uncertainty for the global economy has strengthened their desire for cooperation.
