What is APEC?
The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation is an important framework for advancing the prosperity of people and societies in the region. Together, APEC governments and business achieve this by deepening economic cooperation, improving the environment for trade and investment, ushering inclusive and sustainable growth, and adapting innovative measures.
Its 21 member economies participate in the process: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, the United States and Viet Nam.
What is the APEC CEO Summit?
The APEC CEO Summit is Asia-Pacific’s premier business event and most influential meeting.
No other international conference features 10 APEC Leaders in the program each year (including those from the most powerful economies), who dialogue with CEOs and senior executives of leading global/regional companies and many of the most successful entrepreneurs. The APEC CEO Summit provides unmatched potential to build networks, influence thinking at levels as high as APEC Leaders, and take away relevant insight.

The program typically features the participation of several Presidents and Prime Ministers of Asia Pacific economies, including that of the United States, China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Agriculture provides a subsistence livelihood for 85% of the people, and mineral deposits, including copper, gold, and oil, account for nearly two-thirds of export earnings.
