APEC Thailand 2022 is a year-long hosting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings in Thailand scheduled to take place in 2022.[1][2] Thailand previously hosted APEC meetings in 2003 and 1992.[3]

The theme for 2022 APEC meetings is "Open. Connect. Balance."[4]

[]

The APEC 2022 logo was selected from the 2021 National Youth Design Award competition, jointly organized by the Thai Foreign ministry and several Thai universities. Logo submissions were accepted from May 1 to June 30, 2021. 598 logos were submitted by people under 25 year old from many countries.[5]

The logo selected from the contest was made by Chawanon Wongtrakuljong, an architecture student from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. It features a Chalom, an ancient traditional bamboo basket used to carry products and goods in Thailand. Chaloms are made with bamboo strips, tied and interlaced together to serve as a strong structure. Thus, it is used to symbolize strength, resilience, and cooperation between the nations in the region.[1][5][6] Chalom also represents prosperous trading and commerce, since it is used to carry goods. Additionally, the logo also represents sustainability, because Chaloms are made from bamboo, an environmentally friendly material.

The 21 openings between the woven bamboo stands for the 21 APEC nations.[5] The 3 colors used in the logo represents the motto of the meeting:[6]

  Blue represents "Open"
  Pink represents "Connect"
  Green represents "Balance"

Notes[]

  1. ^ Hong Kong joined APEC in 1991 during British administration with the name "Hong Kong." In 1997, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and took the name "Hong Kong, China."
  2. ^ Due to the complexities of the relations between it and the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (ROC or "Taiwan") is not represented under its official name "Republic of China" or as "Taiwan". Instead, it participates in APEC under the name "Chinese Taipei". The President of the Republic of China does not attend the annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in person. Instead, it is generally represented by a ministerial-level official responsible for economic affairs or someone designated by the president. See List of Chinese Taipei Representatives to APEC.
