The APEC Regional Youth Symposium is initiated by Youth In Charge, a platform by In the Lead (Social Enterprise) Co, Ltd with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NRCT. It gathers opinions and suggestions from youths on their local development that is balanced, inclusive and sustainable. The brainstormed ideas will be presented to leaders from various sectors later this year.
