The symposium
included more than 20 speakers from government agencies including
representatives from the
The APEC
Symposium on Total Supply Chain Security covered a range of topical issues
relating to threats and vulnerabilities in the global supply chain, benefits of
supply chain security to facilitating trade and business, perspectives from
governments, private sectors and international organizations, as well as the
challenges for the future. Delegates exchanged views and information on best
practices for implementation in their economies and companies. All these are
valuable contributions to APEC's common endeavor of attaining stability, sustainable
development and prosperity through the promotion of trade and investment.
The issue of
effectively safeguarding supplies chains both in the Asia-Pacific region as
well as worldwide has become increasingly important. According to APEC’s
information, APEC, with 21 member economies, represents the most economically
dynamic region accounting for 40% of world population, 56% of world GDP and 48%
of world trade. APEC member economies depend heavily on the efficiency of
supply chains to fuel their long lasting and high rate of economic growth. As
most of the world's largest seaports and busiest airports are located in APEC
economies, ensuring the stability, security and efficiency of supply chains has
become an issue of vital significance for APEC.
The Executive
Director of the APEC Secretariat, Ambassador Tran Trong Toan, stated the core
importance of supply chain security in Asia-Pacific, "With the increased
trade flows, protecting the sea, land and air lanes that transport goods and
materials has become crucial for stability in the global economy.”
Cooperation of Public & Private Sector
Through
discussions and cooperations amongst different parties in various countries, we
look forward for a comprehensive and sustainable regional custom policy for
ensuring supply chain security.
"Whether we are public or private sector, we all have a stake in keeping
this supply chain intact."
