THE Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is not just a trade and investment facilitation forum but also a platform to discuss development issues, a senior Philippine government official said yesterday.
The trade and investment aspects of the region’s economy supports its overall economic development but the grouping also recognises the need to promote a development agenda, according to Ambassador Laura Del Rosario, Philippine Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs and Chairperson of the 2015 APEC Senior Officials Meeting at the two-day meeting which ends today.
