Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says there has been a strong commitment to economic growth during his general and bilateral meetings at the APEC gathering in Manila.

Speaking to reporters as the meeting wrapped up and ending his first series of international meetings since becoming prime minister, Mr Turnbull said there has been enthusiastic discussion around the multinational Trans-Pacific Partnership.

"What all that means is that leaders in our region understand that the way to ensure strong job growth, to ensure strong economic growth, to ensure success and prosperity for their peoples is to have open marketing and free trade," he said.
