Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim member economies that
promotes free trade throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It was established in 1989 in response to the
growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies and the advent of regional trade blocs in other parts
of the world; to defuse fears that highly industrialised Japan (a member of G8) would come to dominate

economic activity in the Asia-Pacific region; and to establish new markets for agricultural products and
raw materials beyond Europe.
