A major focus of the meetings were the so-called Bogor Goals, as 2010 was the target year for developed members of the Pacific Rim to achieve free trade and investment.

Theme

Change and action was chosen to represent the need for APEC to build upon its past successes to propose necessary “changes” and execute concrete “actions” during the period of significant change in the global political and economic order to ensure that it will continue to play an important and relevant role in the 21st Century.[4]
