2. We endorse that the mission of APEC is “to support sustainable economic growth and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region”, and recognize the significance of achieving a dynamic and harmonious Asia-Pacific community by championing free and open trade and investment and promoting regional economic integration, and the importance of providing all students with a quality education enabling them to engage in the globalized economy. As stated at the Incheon Declaration “Education 2030: towards inclusive and equitable quality education and life-long learning for all” and the Priority Area of “Human Capital Development” envisioned by Peru as the host economy of the 2016 APEC year, educational systems shall meet the needs of the modern world. This will help to facilitate the regional economic integration within the Asia-Pacific region and enhance prosperity among the APEC member economies.
