Editing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (section)

==History==
[[File:APEC ABC.ogv|thumb|right|[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] news report of the first APEC meeting in Canberra, November 1989, featuring delegates watching the [[Melbourne Cup]]]]
The initial inspiration for APEC came when the [[Association of Southeast Asian Nations]] (ASEAN)'s series of post-ministerial conferences, launched in the mid-1980s, had demonstrated the feasibility and value of regular conferences among ministerial-level representatives of both developed and developing economies. By 1986, the post-ministerial conferences had expanded to embrace 12 members (the then six members of ASEAN and its six dialogue partners). The developments led [[Prime Minister of Australia |Australian Prime Minister]] [[Bob Hawke]] to believe in the necessity of region-wide co-operation on economic matters. In January 1989, Bob Hawke called for more effective economic co-operation across the Pacific Rim region. This led to the first meeting of APEC in the Australian capital of [[Canberra]] in November, chaired by [[Minister for Foreign Affairs (Australia) | Australian Foreign Affairs Minister]] [[Gareth Evans (politician) |Gareth Evans]]. Attended by ministers from twelve countries, the meeting concluded with commitments to hold future annual meetings in [[Singapore]] and [[South Korea]]. Ten months later, representatives of 12 Asia-Pacific economies met in Canberra, Australia, to establish APEC. The APEC Secretariat, based in Singapore, was established to co-ordinate the activities of the organisation.<ref name="History"/><ref name="pecc.org"/>

During the 1994 meeting in [[Bogor]], Indonesia, APEC leaders adopted the '''Bogor Goals''', which aimed for free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific by 2010 for industrialised economies and by 2020 for developing economies. During the November 1995 Ministerial Meeting in Osaka, Japan, a business advisory body named the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) composed of three business executives from each member-country was agreed to be established in 1996.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1995 APEC Ministerial Meeting |url=https://www.apec.org/meeting-papers/annual-ministerial-meetings/1995/1995_amm |access-date=2023-07-09 |website=APEC |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=1995 APEC Ministerial Meeting {{!}} 1995 APEC Ministerial Meeting |url=https://www.apec.org/meeting-papers/annual-ministerial-meetings/1995/1995_amm/att_decl |access-date=2023-07-09 |website=APEC |language=en}}</ref>

In April 2001, APEC, in collaboration with five other international organisations ([[Eurostat]], [[International Energy Agency]], {{ill|Organización Latinoamericana de Energía|lt=Organización Latinoamericana de Energía (OLADE)|es|Organización Latinoamericana de Energía}}, [[Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries]] and the [[ United Nations Statistics Division]]) launched the Joint Oil Data Exercise, which in 2005 became the [[Joint Organisations Data Initiative]] (JODI).
