ASIA-PACIFIC Economic Cooperation (Apec) is still a distance away from achieving its goal of free and open trade, but economic integration should continue to remain the 21-member forum's priority, Singapore's Minister for Trade and Industry (Trade), Lim Hng Kiang, said on Monday.
Speaking at the 2017 Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC)-Singapore Conference, Mr Lim reminded the audience that Apec's vision was to promote growth through greater economic cooperation and integration across the Asia-Pacific.
