The Pacific Basin Economic Council (PBEC) is an influential independent business association founded by Weldon B. Gibson in 1967 with the objective of facilitating business in the Asia - Pacific region. It is currently located in Hong Kong and the Chief Executive is Deborah Biber. ==History== The Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) was founded in 1925 as an international forum where national delegations representing a broad range of interests could meet and discuss both domestic and regional issues. The IPR was a respected forum in the period before, during and after World War II, but was disbanded in 1961 after the United States withdrew support. The PBEC was one of the organizations that filled the void. It was founded in 1967 by business leaders from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Later the founders were joined by groups of members from other countries in the region such as South Korea, Mexico, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines. The purpose of the Pacific Basin Economic Council is to create and maintain an environment that facilitates the orderly conduct of business. The organization is funded by its corporate members. The organization is informal in the sense that it does not include official government representation. At the council's 12th general meeting in Los Angeles in 1978 the Pacific Economic Community Plan was proposed, calling for an economic community to coordinate solidarity and cooperation between countries of the region at different stages of development. As of 1993 the PBEC was the main non-government organization involved in economic cooperation in the Pacific region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Basin Economic Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
