The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum will hold a high-level symposium in Tokyo on July 22 and 23 to discuss ways to prevent a recurrence of the financial and economic crisis that has plagued most Asian economies for the past two years, government sources said Friday.
The symposium will be cosponsored by the governments of Japan and Thailand and will be attended by senior officials, business executives and scholars from the 21 APEC member economies, the sources said.
