The committee consists of five sub-committees in charge of content, logistics, health and safety, communications and protocol. 
Hosting the APEC forum in 2017 is a lynchpin in Vietnam’s foreign policy until 2020, reflecting the country’s dedication to the promotion of shared interests in APEC in an evolving regional landscape.
