The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum came into being nearly three decades ago, now with 21 member economies. Vietnam has been a member of APEC for nearly 20 years and the country has been chosen as the host country for APEC Summit twice – the first in 2006 and the second in 2017.

The APEC 2017 Summit will take place in the central city of Da Nang this November, with the participation of leaders from 21 APEC member economies and about 10,000 international and domestic delegates.

Vietnam’s hosting of the APEC Year 2017 is considered an important milestone for Vietnam. In particular, this will be a golden opportunity, a strategic step for the Vietnamese business community, and an opportunity to directly promote trade and investment.
