Leaders from the Asia-Pacific region have promised to increase free trade and improve security following their two-day summit in Hanoi, Vietnam. The "Hanoi Declaration" outlines key points agreed upon by the 21-member group, which represents a significant portion of global trade. Some of the commitments include resolving issues in global trade talks, considering a potential Asia-Pacific free trade area, and establishing non-binding and voluntary measures for free trade arrangements. Member countries were urged to address piracy and copyright violations, while also condemning North Korea's nuclear test in a closed-door statement. The importance of safeguarding financial and commercial systems was acknowledged, with a nod to the measures taken by the United States against North Korea. Additionally, a study on trade recovery in the event of a terrorist attack or pandemic was welcomed, and collaboration on bird flu, including response development and continuity planning, was agreed upon. The initiatives to reduce the terrorist threat to the APEC food supply are appreciated. Measures will be taken to prevent corrupt individuals from benefiting from their illegal activities. APEC ministers will provide a report in 2007 on policies to promote cleaner energy and increase energy efficiency. Energy policies that eliminate market distortions and improve energy security will be encouraged.
