The Vietnamese delegation will partake in all major activities during the APEC Economic Leaders’ week, meet with important partners within APEC as well as with groups and corporations in the region, according to the Government’s portal.
To mark the 20th year since Việt Nam joined the forum, Việt Nam will continue its contributions to common interests of APEC on maintaining regional co-operation and linkage, and further promoting significant outcomes of APEC 2017, especially the post-2020 vision.
This year, Papua New Guinea is hosting the APEC meeting for the first time since joining APEC in 1993. — VNS
