The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is an inter-governmental economic organization established in 1989. It aims to promote free trade, economic growth, and regional cooperation among its 21 member economies in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes major economies like Australia, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. APEC serves as a forum for dialogue and policy coordination, focusing on trade facilitation, investment promotion, and economic and technical cooperation. It works to reduce trade barriers, encourage investment flows, and improve living standards through initiatives in education, innovation, and sustainable development. Key initiatives include the Bogor Goals, which target free and open trade and investment, and the Osaka Action Agenda, which outlines steps to liberalize trade and facilitate business activities. APEC operates on a consensus-based decision-making model, ensuring that all member economies have an equal voice in shaping policies and initiatives.
