Food security, free trade on agenda of Apec ministers meeting in Bangkok

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Food security, digitalisation, and Free Trade Agreement in Asia Pacific (FTAAP) will top the agenda when Thailand hosts a meeting of Apec Ministers Responsible for Trade later this month.

Supant Mongkolsuthree, who heads the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Business Advisory Council (ABAC), said that due to the Russia-Ukraine war, many countries were faced with food and supply shortages. So, the issue is quite urgent for Apec members to discuss in order to find some solution to help stabilise the region's economy.
