A Declaration on Open Regionalism in the Pacific
太平洋经济合作理事会(PECC)第九次大会通过《旧金山宣言》,首次明确开放区域的条件,并承诺推动实现,为亚太经济合作组织(APEC)等官方机构提供合作基础。
As the focus for its Ninth General Meeting—the first ever in the U.S.—the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC) chose Open Regionalism: A Pacific Model for Global Economic Cooperation. In support of this theme, representatives of the twenty Pacific economies that make up the Council prepared and signed an unusual declaration. It sets forth, for the first time anywhere, the conditions essential for an open region and commits the Council to work in support of these conditions. PECC also issued an accompanying statement that presents the rationale for its San Franciso Declaration. Together, the Declaration and Statement bring the unofficial PECC to a new stage in its historic mission of shaping an open Pacific region. Now its challenge will be to give effect to the Declaration. Several important projects are being considered. For maximum effect, this work will require the cooperation of the new official government organization, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
