APEC Senior Officials' Meetings (SOM)

The APEC Senior Officials' Meetings (SOM) are regular gatherings of representatives from the member economies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. These meetings involve senior officials who discuss and coordinate policies to promote economic growth, trade, and cooperation across the region. SOMs serve as a platform to prepare for the APEC Leaders’ Meetings, ensuring smooth communication and implementation of initiatives. Through these discussions, APEC aims to create an open, dynamic, and interconnected Asia-Pacific economy that benefits businesses and individuals alike.
