EU and APEC Well Set to Work Together

Differences in the structure and philosophy of the EU and APEC do not mean that these organizations will fail to find common objectives. Within the context of economic interdependence at the global level, they might initiate joint actions and projects as well as foster dialogue, interaction and brainstorming on critical issues. In spite of their differences, their economic agenda is rather similar. Regional cooperation and multilateralism are necessary presuppositions for successfully handling new challenges. These challenges are not limited to the financial sphere but also have a broader dimension.
