APEC Working Groups

APEC has four committees, under which there are a diverse range of working groups, dialogues, and task groups to facilitate discussions and organise activities for all of APEC’s work in specific areas. Most of the meetings of these groups are held in conjunction with the three Senior Officials’ Meetings (SOMs) held every year.

In 2013, these “SOM Clusters” were held in Jakarta (in January), in Surabaya (in April) and in Medan (in July).
