SINGAPORE: The 21st APEC Ministerial Meeting opened here Wednesday morning at Singapore's Suntec Convention Center, with a focus on the multilateral trading system and regional economic integration in the post-crisis era.  

The Foreign and Trade ministers and representatives of the 21 APEC member economies are attending the two-day meeting, to make final preparations for the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting (AELM) slated for November 14-15.

During the meeting, they were expected to reaffirm their support for the multilateral trading system, and take stock of the trade-related developments in the Asia-Pacific region and the status of the Doha Round of WTO negotiations.

They would also review the work done in 2009 on regional economic integration and discuss growth issues, including fostering inclusive and sustainable growth.

Against the backdrop of incipient recovery from the global economic recession, the ministerial-level officials were also expected to reaffirm their stand to resist trade protectionism.

A joint statement was expected to be issued after the AMM meeting.
