Leaders from the Asia-Pacific rim committed to increasing free trade and strengthening security at the conclusion of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hanoi. The "Hanoi Declaration" outlined key points, including efforts to resolve the impasse in global trade negotiations, exploring the possibility of an Asia-Pacific free trade area, and establishing six model measures for free trade arrangements. These measures are intended to serve as guidelines for APEC members, although they are not mandatory. Member countries were urged to address piracy and copyright infringements, while a statement condemning North Korea's nuclear test was delivered behind closed doors. The importance of safeguarding financial and commercial systems was emphasized, with a nod to the United States' financial crackdown on North Korea. A study on trade recovery in the face of terrorist attacks or pandemics was welcomed, and collaboration on bird flu, including developing official responses and business continuity plans, was agreed upon. The initiatives aimed at addressing the terrorist threat to the APEC food supply are welcomed. Plans are being considered to prevent corrupt individuals from finding safe haven and accessing gains from illegal activities. APEC ministers have been instructed to report back in 2007 on policies to promote cleaner energy and improve energy efficiency. Efforts will be made to encourage energy policies that reduce market distortions and enhance energy security.
