The World Affairs Council of Orange County will be celebrating the Year of the Goat by having a special cultural performance by the Irvine Chinese School followed by a Panel Discussion on Trade in the Asia Pacific.
The Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA), previously named the Bangkok Agreement, was signed in 1975 as an initiative of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. Being the oldest preferential trade agreement among developing countries in Asia-Pacific, APTA aims to promote economic development through the adoption of mutually beneficial trade liberalization measures that will contribute to intra-regional trade expansion and provides for economic integration through coverage of merchandise goods, services, investment and trade facilitation.
Please join our Consul Generals and Business Experts to learn about how changing political and economic structures in Asia have given opportunites for American Trade and Investment.
