LIMA, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Pacific rim leaders said on Sunday that they were committed to fighting "all forms of protectionism," while acknowledging that economic growth had become uneven in recent years and inequality had risen.
"We reaffirm our commitment to keep our markets open and to fight against all forms of protectionism," the leaders of the 21-strong Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) group said in a closing statement after meeting in Peru.
APEC talks in Lima have been dominated by doubts over the future of regional trade pacts following the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.
