Under the theme “Quality growth and human resources development, the APEC Year 2016 focuses on promoting regional economic connectivity and quality growth; regional food market; modernizing super-small, small- and medium-sized enterprises; and developing human resources.
Vietnam joined APEC in 1998, an important milestone in pursuing a diplomatic policy guided by openness, diversification, multilateralisation and integration in the world economy.
Over the last 18 years, Vietnam has been an active member of APEC, hosting the 14 th APEC Summit in 2006, which proposed establishing a free trade area in Asia-Pacific, approved the Hanoi action plan to achieve the Bogor goals, and reformed measures to create new momentum for APEC’s cooperation. The country also successfully held the 6 th APEC Human Resources Development Ministerial Meeting in 2014.
