APEC operates by consensus.Members conduct their activities and work programs on the basis of open dialogue with equal respect for the views of all participants.In terms of the global economic and trade climate,two maj or scenarios distinguish the APEC meetings of this year：One is that some of the major members have suffered economic slowdown such as the United States and Japan；and the other is whether to launch a new round of WTO talks this year remains uncertain.Given that,this year's APEC meetings are focused on the following two issues：(1)Strengthening the cooperation between and among the APEC members in the face of potential economic slowdown for confidence rebuilding；(2)Furthering the liberalization and facilitation process of trade and investment and supporting the development of the multilateral trading system by pushing forward a new round of WTO talks at an earlier date.
