| Session II: APEC in the Asia-Pacific Regional Architecture
Key Discussion Points:
Recently, the Asia-Pacific regional architecture has become extremely complex. In addition to APEC and ASEAN, the region has also seen the emergence of ASEAN+1, ASEAN+3 and East Asia Summit. Furthermore, major FTAs have been developed, such as the Transpacific Partnership Agreement (TPA). APEC has also raised the idea of FTAAP. What will be the future role of APEC in the region? How will the Asia-Pacific regional architecture affect APEC? Will the various arrangements compete or complement each other? These are some of the issues to be discussed in this session.
