Press Release  – The U.S Department of the Treasury today announced that the 2011 Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers’ Meeting will take place on November 10, 2011 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The White House previously announced that the 2011 APEC Leaders’ Meeting will take place in Honolulu November 12-13, 2011. As President Obama has said, the United States is a Pacific nation whose economic ties to the Asia-Pacific region are strong, enduring, and critical to the prosperity of the American people.

The United States will use the opportunity of chairing APEC in 2011 to highlight the vast potential the Asia-Pacific region holds for American companies and workers, to help shape the future of Asia-Pacific’s regional architecture, and to promote APEC’s core mission of spurring mutually beneficial regional economic integration.

Additional details on logistics for the meeting will be released at a later date.
