You are cordially invited to attend an afternoon symposium on Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)  The purpose of this
instructive forum is to present various perspectives of APEC, from
the Government, Business, and NGO community.  The symposium will
enable the audience to examine APEC in the holistic context of
political, economic, and social regionalization in the Asia
