Getting prepared to benefit

The Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation [APEC] has 21 Members economies that
account for more than 40% of the World's population (2.6 billion people), approximately 57%
of world GDP (US$19, 254 billion) and about 45% of world trade.

to be held in Sydney, New South Wales in September 2007.

Several of the preceding meetings and events are held in the week leading up to the AELM and
are collectively referred to as the APEC Leaders’ Week.

There have been two tenders issued so far:
