Reflecting their close cooperation, China, as host of APEC in 2014, and Australia, as host of the G20 in 2014, sponsored a symposium in Shanghai on 14-15 April to explore opportunities for synergies between the two forums in the pursuit of regional and global economic growth and resilience. The symposium was hosted by the Shanghai Institute of International Studies and the Australian National University, and attended by the APEC Ambassadors, G20 sherpas and senior academics from China and Australia, and senior academics from a number of other regional economies.
