Trade Promotion
-
One of APEC’s tools in stimulating trade has been the holding of APEC Trade Fairs. The
APEC Trade Fairs make it easier for member economies to showcase products, services and
technologies of APEC member economies, promote trade and investment, and foster closer business
and economic relationships among business communities in the region. The APEC Working Group
on Trade Promotion has been holding these APEC Trade Fairs once every two years. The last one,
the 4th APEC International Trade Fair, was held in Indonesia in October 2000. The date and venue
for the 5th APEC International Trade Fair in 2002 is still pending.for the 5th APEC International Trade Fair in 2002 is still pending.
