Multistakeholder Dialogue APEC Post-2020 Meeting

Multistakeholder Dialogue on APEC Towards 2020 and Beyond

Organized by APEC Chile 2019
with the support of the Center of International Studies, Catholic University (CEIUC) and the
Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC)

Concept
PECC General Meeting XXVI is held in conjunction with the Multistakeholder Dialogue on APEC 2020 and Beyond on 14 May 2019. It is organized by APEC Chile 2019, with the support of the Center of International Studies of the Catholic University of Chile, and the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC). It aims to highlight the vision that Latin America has of the Asia Pacific regional integration.

Background
At their meeting in Lima in 2016, APEC Leaders commended Peru’s initiative to start a series of high level dialogues on APEC Towards 2020 and Beyond and instructed officials to continue this on a yearly basis until 2020. The first two MSD looked at the broad set of issues likely to confront APEC in considering a vision post-2020. The third MSD examined more deeply core elements of two key themes, which have emerged fairly consistently from discussions to date on the post-2020 vision: addressing the unfinished business of the Bogor Goals; and addressing the future drivers of growth in the AsiaPacific region. This year’s MSD will put people-centered development at the core of the dialogue, fostering a discussion on inclusive and sustainable growth in a digital era.

Objectives
The objective of this Dialogue is to provide a platform to:

• discuss the emerging issues that will need to be addressed by APEC;
• provide a high-level feedback mechanism for post-2020 vision for APEC; and
• highlight the vision that Latin America has regarding Asia Pacific regional integration.
