Vietnam’s hosting of APEC 2017 helps promote national imageVietnam’s hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in 2017 is a good chance for the country to promote the image of a dynamic country in reform and international integration. It reflected the shared interest of all member economies in seeking new dynamism for the region’s economic integration, connectivity and growth. The successful organisation of the APEC 2017 Year is a focus in Vietnam’s external policy on extensive and in-depth international integration. By hosting the forum, Vietnam hopes it can make practical contributions to APEC’s development and increase the efficiency of APEC cooperation, while boosting the country’s partnership with other member economies. This is the second time Vietnam has hosted the Asia-Pacific region’s biggest and most important economic event.
