John Key has wrapped up his first day at the APEC summit in Vladivostok with a stark warning to political leaders.

He says goodwill, compromise and common sense are needed to get high quality trade agreements off the ground.

John Key says abolishing the $200 billion worth of farming subsidies around the world would help improve economies.

And he's admitted it'll be up to Russian President Vladmir Putin if a free trade deal with New Zealand is to go ahead.
