APEC Mexico 2002 was a series of political meetings held around Mexico between the 21 member economies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation [1] during 2002. [2] [3] Leaders from all member countries met from 26–27 October 2002 in Los Cabos. [3] Counter-terrorism efforts were major topics on the agenda of APEC Mexico 2002. [4] The APEC summit attempted to present a new opportunity for Asian investors and commercial agents to discover Mexico as a profitable frontier in the future. [5]
The three priorities of the APEC summit were:
1. Implementation of policies on trade, investment and finance to promote economic growth and extract gains from the New Economy;
2. Capacity building to obtain benefits from development through the promotion of micro, small and medium sized enterprises;
3. Strengthening APEC's international relevance by encouraging greater participation of youth and women, intensifying efforts to promote the benefits of globalization and improving the functioning of APEC.
