It is the sense of Congress that India’s entry into the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC)regional economic forum would advance the United States goal of increasing economic integration across Asia, further a constructive economic dialogue with India, and serve as a catalyst for India to abide by international trade norms and continue its process of economic liberalization. The Secretary of State shall seek to— work with the Government of India in order to ensure that India meets the necessary criteria for entry into APEC and develop a strategy to obtain membership status for India in APEC, including participation in related meetings, working groups, activities, and mechanisms; and actively engage with and urge APEC member states to support such membership status for India.
