Abstract

Steadily expanding economic activity in the Asia-Pacific region over the past 20 years or so has led to increasing economic interdependence. This, in turn, generated a need for a forum to bring decision-makers at government level together. In January 1989, the then Australian Prime Minister, Mr Bob Hawke, proposed in a speech in Seoul, Korea, a meeting of senior ministers from economies in the region with high levels of common trade to establish a framework for regional economic co-operation. The process came to be known as Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC).
