In his opening speech, Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said the meeting is being held at a critical time when the global economy is facing many challenges and uncertainties.
He said all member countries need to closely cooperate to find a proper solution to help rebuild the global economy in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
This is the first time in two years that APEC trade ministers’ representatives and the APEC Business Advisory Council have come together in person. This year’s meeting, themed “Open, Connect, Balance”, is being held at Centara Grand Hotel in downtown Bangkok.
Jurin said the objective of this meeting was to provide trade ministers with an opportunity to discuss and formulate guidelines to drive trade and investment among APEC countries.
