on behalf of president obama i would urge apec to increase the interaction between the leaders here and the private sector because i think that in the end will result in better policy faster. beneath the surface of the success we celebrate though, there is also an under current of concern, and i would be remiss if i didn't say something about it. when we talk about rules, predictability and the sancitity of contracts we can't forget that corruption corrodes the markets and bruises uncertainty and creates efficiency and under mines good governance and frightens away good capital and put simply it slows down growth and doesn't speed it up. it doesn't expand growth and it certainly doesn't meet the standards of a world that is increasingly looking for more transparency and accountability. it creates a fragile system instead of a strong one. president obama and i commend apec for its close work with the private sector to develop ethics for businesses large and small and we commend apec resent work to shine light on money laundrying and illegal traffic and our economy's simple bottom line, o

so why is apec important? >> yes, the apec summit here in bali has finally officially been wrapped up, the leaders are going home, the final statement has been released and we are now left with a question of how this apec summit will be remembered? it is funny that the the indonesian leader said, normally, they remember the food. it is the wine and dine summit, it is not an outcome of decisions but meetings and commitments and i think that's where the importance lies. the leaders that are here, chinese leaders, japan, russia all have committed to this region. this is the major region for growth in the world. they say this is major region that can make a global economic recovery so the commitment of these leaders to come here despite their domestic problems, economic problems in their own countries it's very important. i think that's what we're going home with and that's what we'll remember from this summit in bali. >> well also step the concluding message from apec is a warning to the united states, about the

apec is not much about outcome but about debates, meetings and commitments. what we have seen is that all the leaders, china, japan have actually made new commitments to the region, despite crises that are going on in their countries. that is the main worry, you are talking about opening up economies, working together, but you're suffering and struggling within your owning country. this region is the vital region for global recovery. that's what everyone agrees on. that is a major outcome although of course it is not a very concrete one as of yet. >> of course, president obama step was supposed to be at this conference. secretary kerry went in his stead. how was his absence felt there? >> yes, a lot has been said about the absence of one man, president obama. and many have of course down played the importance of his presence saying, he has been represented here but others have called it dramatic. in a sense if he's not here the comiment, u.s. commitment for this region doesn't look that confident anymore, that convincing anymore and that is something that has
