At its Standing Committee meeting in August 2025, the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC) endorsed the Mission Statement, reaffirming the Council’s role in advancing regional cooperation in the region.
The Mission Statement
“Actively support economic cooperation and sustainable growth for an open and stable Pacific Community by leveraging tripartite collaboration and expertise to deliver evidence-based research insights, fostering inclusive and effective dialogues, and proactively providing forward-looking and actionable solutions.”
The Statement underscores the PECC’s tripartite nature (business, government, and academic/thinktank experts) as a vital mechanism for generating research-based policy insights and meaningful dialogue. It also reflects PECC’s commitment to playing an even more proactive role in advancing regional economic cooperation, in line with the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040 of “an open, dynamic, resilient, and peaceful Asia-Pacific community”.
