Vietnam in APEC
Vietnam joined APEC in November 1998. Since then Vietnam has
actively participated in cooperation programs on free trade and
trade-investment facilitation as well as technical cooperation within
APEC. Eight years after joining APEC, Vietnam has achieved
important results to intensify international economic integration
and strengthen multi-sided cooperation with countries in this
dynamic region. Vietnam has been hosting the Vietnam APEC
2006 and is holding the 14th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting
(AELM) in Hanoi in November 2006.
