Posted on October 6, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, (PNA/Bernama) –Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is scheduled to deliberate on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)’s three priorities during the 21st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) in Bali, Indonesia, beginning Monday.

A Foreign Ministry statement said APEC’s 2013’s three priorities are “Attaining the Bogor Goals”, “Promoting Connectivity” and “Achieving Sustainable Growth with Equity”.

“Apart from exchanging views with other leaders on these issues, the prime minister will also explore new and innovative ideas to further enhance cooperation among APEC economies,” said the statement.

Najib, who will lead the Malaysian delegation to the AELM, will be accompanied by his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainudin and senior officials from the Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign Ministry, International Trade and Industry Ministry and Finance Ministry.

The two-day AELM, to be attended by Heads of Government of the 21 Pacific Rim member economies, will assume a vital role in promoting trade as well as investment in the Asia-Pacific region.

The outcome of the 21st APEC Economic Leaders Meeting will be documented in the APEC Economic Leaders’ Declaration.
