Chair, Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation 2002

Dear Mr. President:
On
behalf of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), we are honoured to present
you with the 2002 ABAC Report to APEC Leaders.
In the last year, the foundations of the world economy have
been shaken by cowardly terrorist attacks and unprecedented corporate scandals.
In these times of dramatic change, APEC must band together to ensure a stable
and prosperous future for all of our citizens. We must remain vigilant in the
face of adversity and APEC has a historic opportunity to lead the global
community back onto the road of security, peace and prosperity. For these
reasons, ABAC has chosen “Sharing Development to Reinforce Global Security” as
its theme for 2002.
We applaud the APEC Leaders for their courage and vision in
bringing us to the halfway point towards Bogor. The road ahead presents
significant challenges. Therefore, APEC must reenergize itself to build the
momentum necessary to ensure we stay on track. As the voice of the business
sector in APEC, ABAC has a significant role in this process.
 In
2001, ABAC modified its work schedule and presented a “Pre-Report to Ministers”.
The purpose of the Pre-Report was to increase ABAC’s interaction with ministers
and introduce the views of the private sector in the APEC process in a more
timely fashion. This Report puts in a wider context the recommendations
contained in the Pre-Report.
We are hopeful that the recommendations contained in this
Report will lead to specific actions by the respective APEC governments and we
look forward to a meaningful dialogue in Los Cabos.
Very truly yours,
Mr. Javier Prieto
